TRY AND ENJOY THE STORY, LOVE ANGLES INSTEAD OF SHIPPING FOR A PARTICULAR COUPLE AND RUINING THE ESSENCE OF THE JOURNEY I AM ABOUT TO TAKE YOU GUYS ON.

...

It was still dark with a little tinch of morning light in it, and he was found running in this cool weather over the jogging track surrounded by the green park.. Ear plugs were plugged in inside his ears and sound of music hitting his ear drums was making him enjoy his workout..
Like always, he mind was surrounded by several thoughts and plannings and time was passing by without his knowledge.. After a while he reached the basket ball court on the other side of the park and started dribbling the ball all alone..
Since it was too early so hardly people were around..

"Kaafi waqt k baad dikhe tum!" An uncle smiled at him who come here everyday with is mates for work and yoga.. Most of the people who visits this park regularly and that too early morning knew him.

"Apki injury theek hai ab?" He smiled back and asked remembering this uncle had some problem when he last met him before his wedding and bullet fiasco..
"haha!! haan!! Yaaddasht achi hai tumhari!" Uncle appreciated him and walked by..

"Huhhh.. Yaaddasht ka acha hona, acha bhi hai! aur musibat bhi!!" He sighed and aimed as he was about to make a basket..

...

Feeling a kiss on the hallows of her neckline, she took and deep breath and turned to his side only to open her eyes slowly and see him welcome her this morning.. A light smile was playing on his lips as he wished "Good Morning!!"

"Morning!!" She said in a sleepy tone and watched him kiss her forehead..
"Uthne ka plan hai?" He asked her mischeviously while brushing his two fingers on her cheek..

keeekkk... The irritating sound of alarm shattered her dream and she quickly grabbed it to turn it off before Armaan starts to yell down.. Ouch! She turned her face not to find him there..
"Arent these mornings supposed to be romantic ones?" She asked herself as her face flunk on not finding him around..
Making a face, she looked around the room if he was in the bathroom when her eyes fell over the pieces of her scattered night dress and her mind changed immediately.. "Achi baat hai he is not around!" She bit her upper lip and quickly ran inside the washroom..

...

Done with her morning routine, she wondered where the hell he was and then thought.. "How can i forget? Morning Jogs!!" She smiled shaking her head.. She had witnessed before his obssession with his morning run in Austrailia when he was completely all right under no medication.. "Pakka! he is fit and fine now!" She presumed and moved out of the room assuming he would be down stairs..

Breakfast was about to be served, he was still no where around.. She first thought to ask anyone then shut down her mouth on seeing Rahul kicking Rohail over something... She hid his presence and went upstairs declaring a headache.. There was no way she will put herself in any embarrassment that she made an excuse to go to him.. No!!!!

All were about to sit when he returned back.. "Hello Brother!" He hit Rohail with the newspaper he found on the gate.. Rohail was the victum because he saw him first..

"Ahhh.. Tum!! Phir agaye?" Rohail made a face rubbing his head..

"Yup!! Thankfully after the party when u were sleep!!" He gritted his teeth implementing the fact that he is thankful he came after the party was over and everyone was sleep or else he had to attend that stupid party and listen to all the bakwaas.

"Jhaar to phir bhi padegi!!" Rohail winked and came forward to hug him..

People were surprised on find him over the breakfast table and Shilpa looking here and there unable to meet his gaze.. She really don't wana blush and it was happening..
"Tumhe itni jaldi to expect nahi kiya tha wese maine.." Arjun said while starting his breakfast.. It was again Sunday and everyone was at the breakfast table at the same time..
"I had work!" Armaan replied while chewing his food..
"Haan!! Bus office he sambhalte rehna tum!" Annanya taunted him..

"Thats not true mom!! Khud ko bhi sambhalta hun main!" He moved his head up and down making the other two idiots hold their laugh and Shilpa cough.. Its hard to not laugh everyday when Rohail Rahul makes fun of things over the breakfast and now their elder brother an addition who was a PHD in witty comments..

Laughing and chatting the breakfast was going on where he broke the news of Shilpa's passport and visa coming today on door and else... when his phone ringed.. "Vikas!"
"I have to take this.." He excused and took it..

...

"Tumhe kya hogaya?" Billy asked as Armaan put the phone down..

"Actually duniya mein aj kal ajeb ajeeb cheezein ho rahi hain!" Armaan started.. "There is a girl in office.. jo k indian hai! aurrr... usko ek responsibility di gayi thi.." He started making the background..
"Basically.. Its a state; Mocano! Jahan ka prince company mein invest karne wala tha kisi project ko le k.." Everyone became quite interested in the story after the mention of prince..

"Company ne uss ladki k skills ko dekhte hue.. usse responsibility di to receive and handle that prince and.. get the contract signed.." He paused and put another piece of fruit in his mouth..

"To?" Arjun asked carelessly.. "kuch kharab kar diya ussne?"

"Nahi.." Armaan shook his head in a no.. "Lekin agar uss ladki ki wajah se kuch ghalat hota hai ya wo contract sign nahi hota... to she will be in trouble!! Aur appko pata hai kis tarah k cases ban jate hain!! career ki to lag he jati hai.." He bit his lower lip..

"Ab... Prince ka agaya ladki pe dill!!" He kept the real thing on floor and people on the table started giggling and smiling..
"Ladki committed hai! Lekin kyunki wo prince hain to kisi kism k difference koi maine nahi rakhta! He will get what he want and so.. he will not ask her out or any opinion instead... will propose her wide in front of all!!" He rolled his tongue inside..

"Wow!!" Rahul hooted.. "Ladki ki to chandni hogayi!!"

"She is.. committed!!" Armaan controlled his temper and said.. "Uss idiot ne.. poora canteen khali karwa ke.. Ussko balloons se bhar diya! Faaltu ka kharcha!" He made a face...

"Oh please bhai!! People can be romantic some times.. tumhe kharche dikh rahe hain!!" Rohail smirked...

"To tum kehna chah rahe ho k she should breakup from her previous relationship??" Armaan arched his brow..
"Dahhh.. yeah!! Kahan prince!! kahan jo bhi usska hoga.." He shook his head and kept eating.. The other passed their opinion too but Armaan was not listening anything...
"Hmmm..." He watched Rohail took the glass of water and as he drink, Armaan said.. "Lets say... Usska ladki ka naam Aliya Sharma hai!!"
"Phewww... ahammm" Rohail spilled out the water on the floor coughing and everyone else started laughing...
"Hmmm.. ab jalli naa??" Armaan smirked..
"Very Funny!!!" Rohail rolled his eyes...

"Kyun bhae? Kahan tum! kahan wo prince Henry! Jo usse mehlon mein rakhe ga!" Armaan added...

"Hawww.. Rohail! Bhai ki nazar mein tumhari koi izzat nahi hai!" Rahul commented winking at Rohail..

"Hahahaha!!" The family was laughing and eating when Arjun asked Rohail.. "Tumhari flight kab ki hai?"

"Tum kahan ja rahe ho?" Armaan interrupted..

"Dehli!" Rohail replied while eating.. "Kal subha ki hai 5 baje.. Pehle sourav se ja k sab files lunga.. Phir unke saath apna dimagh khapaoonga! Phir dekhunga meeting kab schedule karwaoon.." Rohail told his plan..

"Aur raho gay kahan?" Billy asked..

"Ahm ahm... kahan rehna chahiye apke khayal mein??" Rahul shot a mischevious look to Rohail..
"Hotel mein!!" Rohail shot daggers at Rahul.. "Mujhe meeting se pehle bohat kuch study karna hai.." He gritted his teeth..

"Aur nahi to kya... ek jagah jao, doosri se shikayat ajati hai.." Armaan made a face and supported Rohail.. Who better than him will knew how this works..

"Acha khair.. jahan chahe raho.. lekin kaam poora hona chahiye!" Arjun warned..

Done with the Breakfast, Armaan climbed upstairs to his room only to find dear wifey applying some cream all over her hands.. He moved towards the washroom to wash his hands and asked out loudly from there only.. "Tumhe kuch shopping wagera to nahi karni hai?"

"Shopping?? Uhmm pata nahi.." She gave it a thought..

"To phir time waste nahi karo.. packing start karo! wo already bohat time legi!" He said while coming out from the washroom..

"Hmmm.." She sat down on the bed with a jump.. "Susti arahi hai.. dill nahi chah raha mera!" She made a face.. "Neend arahi hai.." she added..

"Kyun?? Raat ko theek se neend nahi ayi?" He shamelessly asked with a grin on his face making her look away to hide that stupid smile reaching her face.. "Aurrr sar mein bhi dard tha!! chala gaya??" He added taking one more step towards her..

"Mujhe kaam hai neeche.." She immediately got up to go...

"Really?? kya kaam hai?" He stopped her wrapping his arm around her waist... "Appko bhi hona chahiye... appko har time koi na koi kaam hota hai!!" She said while trying to free her hand from his other hold..

"Mujhe to sab kehte hain mujhe biwi ko time dena chahiye! Ab de raha hun to biwi bhaag rahi hai!!" He smiled biting his lower lip..

"Appko bhaagne ka shawk hai!! Ajj main bhaag rahi hun!!" She smile playing along..
"Ahan.." He tickled near her waist making her laugh and run as he chase her and pulled down on the bed under him.. "Aise he hasti raha karo.." He spoke out while caressing her face.. "Rona dhona pasand nahi hai mujhe.." He placed a kis over her forehead reminding her about the bads of last night...

"Armaan! wo dobara aya to??" She asked with fear in her eyes..

"To main saath hoon naa!!" He smiled assuring her his presence by herside..

"Armaaannn!!!" The loud call from downstairs made him made a face and her laugh.. "Ab tumhare jhaar sunne ka time hai!!" He himself announced making her laugh more and getting up moved out..

...

"Urghhh fine!" He agreed to attend the tonight Business stupid party for the sake of Shilpa to shut people up who made talks last night... "Par time mera hoga!" He warned..

"Lekin tum jaoge.." Billy pointed a finger at him..

"Ofcorse!! Main yahan ata he kyun hun?? Appke logon k mu bund karne... unhi k hisaab se to chalti hai meri life.." He made a face..
"Zara tameez se.." Annanya scolded him to which he didn't reply but got up and ran out with his phone in his hands.. He was already busy in it since morning...

"Rohail!" Armaan called out his name and shut the door behind and locked it up..
"Ummm... All okay?" Rohail passed him a weird look and asked.. He was busy doing something in his room when Armaan barged in and locked the door..

"Mujhe kuch discuss karna hai.." He said and before he would start he saw Rahul coming out of the bathroom... "See you had it!!" Rahul narrowed his eyes over Rohail showing him the box of something...

"Haan to liya hoga.. yaad nahi mujhe!!" Rohail made a face..

"Ohh Bhai!! Tumhare chehre pe baaraa kyun baje hue hain??" Rahul smiled and asked..

"Get Out!" He told him straight..

"Huh?? No!!" Rahul refused at once.. "Yeh kal chala jayega... isske jaane se pehle humay kaam karna hai warna i won't be able to back him up in his absence.." Rahul explained..

"Back Up??" Armaan frowned but then it hit him... Rahul backs up Rohail! And Rohail backs up Rahul.. It is impossible to make anyone of them work seperately..

"Aur Bhai... Tumhari tabeat to theek rehti haina ajj kal? Humay pata laga tum Aliya k saath.. movie dekhne gaye thai?" Rohail chuckled at Armaan...

"Tumhari kab baat hogayi Aliya se.." Armaan narrowed his eyes at Rohail.. According to him Aliya was not taking his messages or calls..

"Nahi hui naa bechare ki!!! To be New Bhbahi ignore maar rahi hai bechare ko!!" Rahul laughed as Rohail hit him with a pillow.. "Bhao he nahi de rahi!! Wo to Vikas ne phone uthaya uss din to bataya.." Rahul added...

"Hmmm.. whatever!! I need some advice.." Armaan sat down on the bed making the two really interested in whatever he was going to talk about.. When Armaan Mallik needs advice.. It has to be interesting!!

"So that girl.. Prince Henry wali.." Armaan started..

"Tumhe bohat pasand agayi hai?? subha se uske peeche halkan ho rahe ho!" Rohail chuckled..
"Hmmm... just listen.." Armaan controlled his temper.. "To jab usse pata chala k she is about to get proposed infront of whole office, she made an excuse and ran away.." He started again..

"Log shaadi se bhaagte hain! yeh propose hone se bhaag gayi!!" Rahul commented pissing Armaan more..

"Andd.. when she reached home!! Usse aur jhatka laga.." Armaan paused..

"Let me guess.. Mr Prince was there on his knees.. wah!!" Rohail hooted..

"Noo!!!" Armaan arched his brows.. "I was back in Mauritius without anyones knowledge!" He exploded the bomb...

Silence...

"No!!!" Rohail yelled out..
"Hehe!! Funny bhai! Lekin acha mazak nahi hai.." Rahul too added making a face..

"Vikas k hisaab se... usse ghar laane se pehle wo teen ghanta uski councelling already kar chuka tha.. Wo roye ja rahi thi, aur khud ko blame kar rahi thi!!" Armaan continued only to freak out the other two...

"BHAIII!!!" Rohail got furious and hyper..

"Let me complete.. usske baad react karna!" Armaan tried his best to maintain corum in the room.. "Log! falana, dhamka, everyone was in the picture, usske hisaab se tum usse blame karoge, har koi usse blame karega, usske character pe baat ayegi! people will say k she openly invited him and bla bla bla.." He himself got angry recalling at that..

"Anyways.. mujhe dekh k aisa laga jese ussne bhoot dekh liya hai.. phir bahana kar k wo aur vikas oppar chale gaye aur agle paanch minute mein humara poora living room boquets aur get well soon k cards se bhara pada tha.. Wo khane k liye neeche ayi aur dekhte he on spot behosh ho gayi!!"

"Rohail! wo itni thundi hogayi k hum sab k haath pair phool gaye.. har tarah se uska temperature rise karne ki koshish ki aur jab rise hua to aisa k we had to admit her to the hospital.. Aur tab se wo on and off hospital mein hai.. Wo depression mein rehti hai, usska confidence sara chala gaya hai, ghar se bahar nahi nikalti, Tumhare naam se he itna darr jati hai k jese tum pata nahi usska kya kar do ge? Ghar se bahar nikalna bund kar diya hai ussne.." Armaan took a breath...

"R you guys out of your mind?? Tum log kar kya rahe ho wahan?? Aur kya usske office mein kisi ko nahi pata tha k she is engaged??" Rohail blasted out..

"Humne shaadi bhi karwadi!! Koi faida nahi hua... Apparently he is not a fool and too have sources.. Usske hisaab se India mein shaadiyaan forced hoti hain.. And he gets what he wants... Wo khud saamne nahi ata lekin roz kuch na kuch ghar ajata hai.. Wo Aliya k peeche pagal hua wa hai.. Usse sirf Aliya rok sakti hai jo usska saamna he nahi karna chahti.." Armaan tried to explain..

"Wo maasi tak se dhung se baat nahi karti hai.. Wo itni darri hui hai k samajh he nahi ata kya kiya jaye.." He added..

"Tum ek baar call nahi kar sakte thai mujhe??" Rohail frowned..

"Usse saara darr he yeh hai k main yahan bata dunga... Baat uske hisaab se uske character pe agayi hai.. Kisi ko kuch bhi pata laga.. wo embarass ho jayegi, unhe face nahi kar payegi!!" Armaan tried to explain more..

"Kya matlab face nahi kar payegi yaar??? main khao jaoonga ussko? Kaun blame kar raha hai usse?" Rohail was officially angry...

"Rohail! Calm down.. Yeh usual Aliya wali harkat nahi hai!! You should listen..." Rahul tried to calm Rohail down..

"Exactly.. humare hisaab se wo yeh sab tackle kar leyti lekin uss ladki ka sara confidence chala gaya hai.. Humne bohat koshish ki to gain that back lekin.. mamla serious hogaya hai ab.. " Armaan himself looked worried now..

"Mere yahan ane ka main reason tumse baat karna tha!" Armaan added..

"Yeh baat hai? Tum bomb phor rahe ho mere oppar..." Rohail threw daggers at Armaan..

"Rohail meri baat suno poori.. Wo bunda jahan ka hai wahan meri sources nahi lagti.. aur lag bhi jaati to kya ukhaar leyta main? He is a stupid prince and in process to be a king.. Wo deewana hua pada hai Aliya k peeche and he gets what he wants.." Armaan created more tension..

"Wow!! Mujhe to pata he nahi tha.." Rohail huffed..

"Kal raat usska butler aya tha.." Armaan started again..

"Butler??" Rahul's mouth hung up..

"Haan butler.." Armaan made a face.. "Wo usski kisi grandma ka tiara le k aya tha jo unki family mein tradition hai!! Aur kyunki wo raees prince hain to khud to aenge nahi.." Armaan took a breath..
"Usske jaate he Aliya behosh ho gayi.. Kal raat se usse hospital mein liye betha hai Vikas.. " He pressed his lips together.. "Aur abhi usska phone aya tha k guards wagera agaye hain aur gadha usse milne ane wala hai.." Armaan held his head..

"Excuse me??" Rohail arched his brows..

"Ab agar yeh baat maasi aur sab ko out hoti hai.. Mujhe nahi pata Aliya kya soch k bethi hai aur kese react karegi... Just look what she has became!!" Armaan opened his phone screen and gace it to Rohail..

"WTH!!" She looked terrible to Rohail.. "Agay badho.." Armaan asked him to see more pictures and those terrified Rohail.. He saw the tiara, the living room filled with flowers and cards, the canteen filled with balloons and that prince Henry standing by it..

"Ab ya to tum isse sambhal sakte ho! Ya sab haath se choot jayega!" Armaan told Rohail in clear words.. "I'll deal with your Dehli work.. Kal subha ek Mauritius ki flight bhi hai.." He told everything he could and became quiet..

"I'll back up here..." Rahul teamed up too..

"Haan yeh acha hai!! Waqt pe inform nahi kiya aur ab baat haath se nikal rahi hai to u r informing me... Don't you think it is about my life too bhai?" Rohail asked staright..

"All i can say is i am Sorry!! Lekin situation tum abhi bhi nahi samajh rahe ho aur main yahan beth k samjha bhi nahi sakta! Wahan jao.. deal karo!! Phir baat karenge.." Armaan didn't took any offence because last Night with Shilpa taught him alot.. It was a life lesson..

"Tum kyun mujhe yahan zabardasti le kar aye ho??" Muskaan was on the verge to kill Vikram.. "Yahan koi kaam nahi hai mera! Ajeeb kism ki party hai!" She frowned..

"Awww.. Shilpa nahi hai to ajeeb kism ki party hogayi tumhare liye? Kal bhi to koi kaam nahi tha! par gayi naa??" He retorted back at her..
"Wo party unke ghar pe thi!! Sab gaye thai!" Muskaan gritted her teeth..
"To yahan bhi kal he wale log hai!! Jussttt.. Shilpa and family nahi hai!" Vikram looked around and raised his shoulders carelessly..

"Urghh.. dafa ho jao tum!!" Punching Vikram on his shoulder, she made a face and sat down on the table..

...

Since Shilpa would be leaving with Armaan in 3 days, so it was decided that she will go with Shashank to his house from the party and spend the next day there.. And then Armaan will pick her up the other day at night.

"Tum ek kaam karna, wahan jo tumhare saare kapre haina? wo pack kar k le ana! Suitcase le jo yahan se.." He suggested while fixing his tie..

"Kyun? Yahan mere pass kapron ki kami ho gayi hai jo main wahan se bhi le aoon?" She asked while pinning the pallu of her sarree..

"Yeh jo abhi tak tumne pack kiya hai! Iss mein wahan odd one out lago gii.. Occasionally sarree ya suit use hoga.. Tum pehna chahti ho to mujhe koi masla nahi hai bhae!" He shook his shoulders in the air..

"Acha dekha jayega.." She ignored the topic and walked forward to grab her sandles..

"Aur app nikal nahi jaiye gaa mujhe wahan chor k.. jab papa nilklenge tabhi app niklenge.. Main akele nahi ghoomu gii wahan phir baatein sunne.." She made a face..

"Biwi! Mere saath tum baatein sunne nahi, sunane ki adat daal lo!" He chuckled making her roll her eyes.. "Acha ek kaam karte hain!! Filhaal to humay yahan se nikalna padega warna ghar wale joote maar k nikalenge... buttt we'll go for a dinner aur phir uss idiotic party pe chalte hain!! hmm??" He asked..

"Chalein.. " She happily agreed..

...

"Yaani wahan se koi nahi ayega?" Vikram asked Abhi who was standing between Muskaan and Nikki with a drink in his hands..
"Rohail to kal ja raha hai.. to uske paas bahana hai jaldi sone.. Rahul akele ayega nahi aur Shilpa ne ana nahi.. Shayad Arjun Uncle aur Tanya aunty ajaen.." Abhi guessed..

"Ohhh she has got guts!!" Atul said out loud attracting others attention..
"Kya?" Anjali asked..

"Shilpa!" Atul pointed at the enterence from where Shilpa was coming in dressed up awesome! She stepped in but then stopped and looked back for the person which others presumed would be Rahul..

A wave of surprise touched everyone when Mr Armaan Mallik arrived buttoning his coat and stood next to his wife asking her something... "Lo bhaiya!! Ajj to dhamake honge.." Abhi held his laugh..

"Yeh achi shart nahi hai.." Armaan made a face over Shilpa's condition of staying till she will stay there.. "Jo bhi hai.. ab aisi he hai!" She arched her brow.. "Aisa bhi to ho sakta hai k main tumhe wahan subha drop kar dun.." He tried to manofy her..

"Aurrr.. yeh bhi ho sakta hai k hum yahan se saath niklen, app mujhe drop karen aur phir khud ghar chale jaen.." She tried to be adjusting...
"Haan.. yeh possible hai!" He agreed to which she smiled and they walked forward..

Within 5 minutes, Aunties and gossip mongers were down with long sixers by Armaan Mallik.. He was on so much fire that Abhi had to drag him out.. "Tum kya class leyne aye ho sabki?" Abhi asked dragging him out..

"Kal wo kya kar rahe thai??" He asked Abhi sweetly... "Pehle sirf ek taraf se dhawa bolte thai.. ab donow taraf se.. sandwich samjha hai kya mujhe?" He gritted his teeth and asked...

"Ohhh... Wife mode On hai!" Atul laughed..

"Don't start!! As i say.. jab in ladkiyun k agay Mallik lag jata hai.. sherni ban jati hain bheegi billi se.." He commented making Atul and Abhi laugh..

Shashank was really proud today because to him, his damad was protecting and answering back for his daughter.. Tonight, for the first time this couple looked like an actual couple..

"Aww.. tum chali jaogi!!" Anjali hugged Shilpa with love and Muskaan looked away.. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions but she was not willing to show any especially right now..

Soon, the guys got busy on their own... Whoever comes from outside say a word and Armaan fires them hysterically.. His Izzat se Bezzati formula was so on and he always comes prepared so...

"Tujhe kese pata unka beta kya kar raha hai??" Atul frowned at Armaan..
"Why do you think i have an ID on that stupid FaceBook??" Armaan questioned..

"Hahaha.. tumhara kuch nahi ho sakta!!" Atul shook his head..
"By the way.. how is Vikas Piya? Sid Nidhi!! Koi khabar he nahi.." Abhi asked casually..

"Sab mast hain bhae... Aadi ab crawl karne lag hai to... infact ane se do chaar din pehle bhi hum log living room ki setting idhar udhar karne mein lagay hue thai.. jo kona mile ghuss jata hai wo andar.." Armaan smiled remembering Aadi's antics..

"Hehe!! aur wo Aliya k namoone??" Anjali inquired..

"Humare ghar toys se nahi khelta hai bacha... Wo jeete jaagte janwaron k saath khelta hai!" Armaan added making everyone laugh but this talk did reminded him of Aliya and once again he got a bit tensed..

Yawning, he lied down flat on the bed, he was done providing Vikas details about Rohail's flight whereas Vikas informed Armaan that Mr. Prince visited and Aliya didn't dared to open her eyes in front of him and after that again her fever raised up..

Rohail calmed down after taking some time to think and let the news sink in him, he was now worried for Aliya and intended to remain light and soft with her..

"Hmmm... thats what a wife feels like!!" Armaan sighed looking at the empty space beside him and slowly closed his eyes..

...

"Chalo great then.. Finally tum jiju k saath hogi!!" Muskaan smiled lying down on the bed..
"Uhmmm... lekin mujhe lagta hai main yahan sab ko zyaada miss karungi.. Ek ajeeb se adat si hone lagi hai uss ghar ki.." Shilpa looked up at the ceiling and said.. "Mujhe pata he nahi tha gardening karne mein itna maza ata hai.." She smiled remembering what she does now a days with Armaan's dadi..

"Hehehe!! Dill lag gaya hai tumhara ache se.." Muskaan smiled looking at Shilpa's face..

"Haan!!" Shilpa nodded in a yes.. "Lekin kuch cheezein hai.. jo pasand nahi ati mujhe.." She made a face..
"Jese?" Muskaan asked..

"Jese.. jese mujhe lagta hai personal space bohat kum hai uss ghar mein... Ab ajj shaam mein he le lo.. Armaan kuch busy thai apne phone pe.. Rahul a ke koi baat karne laga aur phir jatay jatay wo kuch laye thai apne saath usse utha k dekha aur bola yeh main le raha hun aur chala gaya!" Shilpa frowned..

"I mean poochna chahiye naa.. aise kese main le raha hun utha k chala gaya.." She made a face..
"Aur jiju ne kya kiya?" Muskaan asked..

"huh!! Kandhe uchka diye aur kya.." She rolled her eyes...

"Hahaha!! To unki understanding hogi naa wesi.. Tum uss mein interfear mat karo.. Tumhari cheez to nahi uthai naa.." Muskaan made her point..

"Phir bhi yaar.. Mujhe acha nahi laga!!" Shilpa pouted..

"Bhae mujhe nahi pata... mujhe bohat neend arahi hai!" Muskaan closed her eyes and turned her face to the other side.. "Jis ko sab mil jata hai usse kadar nahi hoti.." She thought and closed her eyes.. She loves Shilpa alot but these days Muskaan was in a situation where these kinds of complains of Shilpa irritates her..

...

Rohail left the other day for Mauritius, all other men for office whereas Armaan was now roaming around all over the house spending time with his Mom, chachi and dadi. He gave them all he brought for them from Canada..
"Aur Shilpa k liye kya laye?" Dadi inquired..

"Yahan nahi laaya.. faida kya hota?" He raised his shoulders.. "Infact wo bag he kholne ki naubat nahi ayi.. Aliya, Piya sab ka samaan mila hua hai.." He added..

"Aliya kesi hai? Jab se gayi hai gayab he hui wi hai.. Uss din Avantika se baat ho rahi thi to wo bhi keh rahi thi k kum kum baat ho rahi hai.." Tanya asked Armaan..

"Wo... " He gave it a thought of what to say.. "Bohat saara kaam paala hua hai ussne.. to ya to wo apne atrangi kaamo mein masroof hoti hai ya time mile to so jati hai.." He made a lie.. "Ajj kal thoda uchakna phudakta bund hai.." He sighed parying she survives on seeing Rohail instead of dying..

"Suno.. Tum sab ek he appartment share karte ho?" Annanya inquired.. Million times it was heard that they all are together in Mauritius but togther mean in Mauritius or same appartment was never paid attention to.. It was kind of vague due to their gol mol talks..

"Hmmm.." Armaan nodded in a yes..

"To ab problem nahi hoga? Pehle tum akele thai.." Annanya asked..

"Maine kaha tha naa ek chakkar laga lein.. nahi ayi app!!" He made a face.. "Aur wese bhi.. wo ghar log maangta hai warna sambhalna bohat mushkil hai.." He stated as a matter of fact.. "Aur aj kal to wese bhi Sid aur Ni nahi hain to thoda khali khali lagta hai.." He added..

"Hmmm.. pyaar bachi hai wo bhi!! Neha bohat tareef kar rahi thi uss din uski phone pe.." Dadi smiled..
"Hehh.. chalu bachi hai!! Saas ko handle karna jaanti hai aur kuch nahi.." Armaan made fun of Nidhi..

"Ahan.. aur apni wali k baare mein kya raye hai?" Annanya thought to tease Armaan..
"Wo to app bataen.. App saas hain!" He chuckled..

"Bohat nukchari hai.. seedhi tarah usse koi baat samajh nahi ati aur nakhre bhi bohat hain!" Annanya was in full mood to play along..
"Ab app mujhe kuch nahi keh sakti.. appki choice hai, app deal karen!!" He laughed joined by the other two..

"Tum nahi sudharna bus.." Dadi hit him on his head..

"Uhhh.. main kaunsa bigra hua hoon to sudhar jaoon?? Ache bachon ki tarah appne jahan kaha shaadi karli.. jese kaha wese kar li!!" He tried to implement how sanskari he is.. "Aur ab mujhe yeh soch k chakkar arahe hain.. k raat mein ja k uski dadi amma ko dobara se jhelna padega!!" He made a puppy face..

"Armaaan!!" The three ladies eyed him..

"Arre unke khud k ghar wale unse pareshaan hai app mujhe kya keh rahi hain??" He made a face..

"To tumpe kaunse zulm kar diye unhun ne?" Annanya arched her brow at him..

"Hahh.. Please don't start!! Unke zulm ka bohat acha nishaana bante dekha hai maine logon ko.." He made a face.. He can still recall how Piya makes a face when she call them and listens bakwaas..

"Acha tumhe koi zaroorat nahi hai apni vishesh tipni jharne ki unke saamne.." Dadi warned him..

"Agar maine koi jamai jesi bakwaas suni to i am sorry!!" He held back his hands in that department..

Dinner with Malhotras turned really very an unexpected surprise.. Everyone was too interested in knowing about Aadi's new antics, Shilpa's dadi ji for a change was also concerned about Piya's health and Armaan felt like some poisonous bug has bitten her when she said that "Wo bilkul bhi apna khayal nahi rakhti hai.. itni dubli patli hai wese he.. ab bhala kya dekhti hogi khud ko bache k peeche.."

"O God! Piya u will die hearing this.." Armaan shook his head hearing it out.. He actually started having a good time there.. This family was turning more comfy with him.. He also found out that soon Vikram and Amit will be leaving back since their work is almost done here and Dadi will also be going with them..

Shilpa's dadi was the owner of her own will.. She stays with any of her son anywhere as per her mood and choice.. It was not like she had one home but two.

It was time to go back home.. Armaan was putting Shilpa's baggage in the car while she was bidding bye to everyone.. "Muskaan!!" He called out loud..
"Jee??" She came forwards outside from the gate of the house where everyone else were standing.. "Yeh Vikas ne bheja hai tumhare liye.." Armaan gave her the bag..

"Ouch!!" She was not expecting it to be so heavy.. "Iss mein kya hai?" He asked smiling..

"Ek cheez meri taraf se.. Main le raha tha kuch Aliya k liye aur mujhe laga tum bhi kuch ussi department se talluk rakhti ho so.. It will be helpful for you too!!" He smiled handing her a shopper too..

"Isski kya zaroorat thi??" Muskaan was too surprised with the gifts..

"Bohat kanjoos hain yeh gifts k baare mein.. Isliye appne app ko lucky samajh k le lo tum!!" Shilpa chirped as she join the two making Armaan look at her with fake anger and Muskaan giggle..
Soon they were done with byes and were now heading home... "Bhaiya ne kya bheja tha usske liye?" Shilpa asked on the way.. She knew what Armaan got but had no idea that even Vikas has sent something for Muskaan..

"Bheja hoga kuch.. check nahi kiya maine.." He showed his complete disinterest in that bag..

"App bag wahan se yahan le aye.. appko pata he nahi k uss mein kya hai?" Surprised, she looked at him..

"Wowww.. Vikas ko batana padega! tum usse gunda samajhti ho!!" He hooted..
"Arre.." She made a face making him laugh..

"Bhae tumhe bura lag raha hai k tumhare liye kahin se kuch nahi aya.. To main aya naa tumhare liye.." He chuckled making her roll her eyes.. "Hahaha... faaltu tha.. kuch bhi yahan la k baggage he barhana tha!" He explained..

...

What Armaan had got for Muskaan were some really unsual fabric paints which weren't available locally anywhere till now.. Infact these were so rare to get and almost unimaginable in India to get...

Not just Muskaan but everyone in the fashion industry knew about them and want them.. They were rare and unavailable and so expensive.. "I don't believe this!!" Muskaan's jaw dropped down.. "Ye to itna expensive hai.. aur yeh mil kahan se gaya jiju ko??" She questioned herself only if she knew how big jugaru was her jiju and how crazy his sister cum bhabhi was after them...

Next she opened the bag Vikas sent which brought an instant smile on her face.. Surely Piya had a very good memrory Muskaan thought.. It has got almost very thing Muskaan have mentioned generally in some point of time when Piya was around while working over her projects..

It was all good but the best news she has got today is that her dear Nani would be gone from here after some time and then she might be free to gather herself and build a life of her own on her own terms.

...

Rohail understood the actual situation when it was told and explained to him by Vikas himself who was there the whole time and has witnessed it all from Prince arrival to last visit..

"Bhai ne to nahi bataya mujhe yeh sab.." Rohail frowned..

"Wo to mila he nahi ajj tak uss gadhe se.. wo kese bataye gaa?? Aurr Aliya Armaan se koi kum darri hui nahi hai.. Usska sara darr yehi hai k wo India mein bata dega aur phir kuch bawaal ajayega.." Vikas shook his head.

"Abhi kahan hai wo??" Rohail asked..

"Hospital mein.. soi hai to main nikal k aya hun tumhe leyne.. Itni darri hui hai do second akele nahi rukna usse.. Aur frankly speaking ussko chorna bhi nahi hai akele.. kya bharosa kab pagal namoodaar ho jaye... Special instructions de k gaya hai doctors ko warna abhi tak discharge ho chuki hoti.." Vikas gritted his teeth...

"Matlab wo kuch bhi kare.. aur koi usse nahi rok sakta??" Rohail was not getting this thing..

"Sirf Aliya rok sakti hai.. aur wo uss condition mein nahi hai.. God knows isske saath hua kya hai jo ek dum se yeh... aasmaan se neeche ayi hai!!" Vikas again got angry.. "Aur uss gadhe k paas, paisa hai, power hai, guards hain, poora ek country hai!! Ab ukhar lo tum uska kuch!" He slammed his hand over steering..

They reached back to the hospital where Rohail felt as if he is witnessing Aliya on a death bed.. She was so thin and fragile!! "Ab tum raho yahan.. main ghar ho ata hun!" Vikas said to which Rohail nodded and he walked away... Aliya was sleeping and so had no idea what was all around her..

...

It was around 3 in the Night when Aliya opened her eyes feeling her throat dry... Someone was sitting by her side holding her hand with his head down on the bed and that freaked her out.. She immediately tried to free her hand which made Rohail wake up and Aliya more scared.. "Rohail.." She whispered out..

"Kuch chahiye?" He gently asked..

She kept looking at him in disbelieve and instantly felt betrayed by Vikas and Armaan.. Rohail here means people in India knows, Her parents knows, So now she will be charged for letting everyone down, the dark spot will be placed over her character, she would be termed as a cheater.. How will she ever face them all?? Really?? Armaan and Vikas cared not even a little about her and her feelings and about her self esteem?? She would never be trusted by anyone due to that..

"Trust me.. i didn't!" Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered...

"Aliya!" Rohail was shocked to see such a reaction.. "Maine kuch poocha tumse?" He held her hand in his.. "Tumse kisne kaha hai k tumne kuch kiya hai?" He gently caressed her face and said.. "Halat dekho kya bana li hai tumne apni.." He was concerened about her..

"Sab ko pata chal gaya naa??" She sniffed...

"Kisi ko kuch nahi pata hai..." He looked in her eyes and tried to assure her..

"Tum jhoot bol rahe ho!! sab ko sab kuch bata diya hoga.. Mama Papa kya sochenge mere baare mein? Kitna trust tha unhe mujhpe... Bhai ko zara bhi parwah nahi naa iss baat ki k main kese face karungi sab ko!!" She started crying and Rohail realised how Armaan was emotionally blackmailed and trapped in this..

"Usse to idea bhi nahi hai.. Main yahan tumhe surprise karne aya tha tumne mujhe kar diya!" He lied white on her face..
"Aur khabardaar jo tumne khud ko blame kiya!!" He pointed a finger at her.. "Aur bhai ko choro.. tumhe zara bhi bharosa nahi tha mujhpe k tum khud ye sab mujhe call kar k batati.." He scolded her making her quiet..

Aliya took no time in making him understand how Aliya had made this situation hard and why Armaan and Vikas didn't said a word on call instead Armaan decided to tell him in person..

Shilpa was upstairs busy in her packing and Rahul was asked by Armaan to take an off for the day so that the two brothers can catch up and have some fun before he leaves for a long period this time..

They both were talking rubbish and playing through a playstation on this huge LED when Tanya interrupted and asked them to come to dadi since she is calling them.. "Maine to kuch nahi kiya hai.. tumhi ne kiya hoga!" Rahul shot a suspicious look to Armaan..

"Chup bay! Apne kisi trip pe itni masoomiyat nahi dikhai maine jitni iss trip pe dikhai hai.." Armaan defended himself.. Pausing the game, they both headed to dadi's room where dadi was sitting on the bed with three sets of some jewelry..

"Lo.. Dadi appne humko ladki samajh liya?" Rahul made a face..
"Chup!" Dadi scolded him..

"Yeh iteffaq se teen he thai! Jo meri dadi k thai.. Tum teen ho! Tum teenow ki biwiyun ka ek ek.. pasand kar lo ab.." Dadi left the decision to them..
"To Mom aur Chachi suteli thi kya?? Unko dena chahiye tha.." Armaan commented..

"Armaan!!" He heard Tanya and Annanya together who were just joining them to know what Armaan and Rahul are about to choose..

"So.. Rohail ko choice nahi milegi?" Rahul scratched his head and asked..

"Wo filhaal yahan nahi hai.. to.. nahi!" Dadi looked at the two and said..

The two kept looking at the sets after which Rahul said.. "Bhae dekhein.. mujhe ye sab samajh nahi ata.. Aurr who know meri wali itni mordern ho wo leyna he nahi chahe!!" He acted dramatically making Armaan laugh.. "Hahahaha!!"

"Rahulll.." Annanya glared at him..

"True mom!! mazak nahi kar raha.. I mean sochen naa... dadi ki dadi ka!! Kitni emotional value hai isski.." He tried to hype the situation.. "So.. I am quite biased towards the upcoming bhabhi of mine!! To.. mere hisse ka bhi usko de dein! Aur meri wali jo bhi hogi.. agar hogi to usko app kuch naya banwa k de dijye ga.. " In a very non serious attitude, Rahul said a very serious thing.. Aliya has her own place and so what he was saying is that she will know the value and she will value it instead of replacing or keeping it in the safe forever..

No one was expecting this from Rahul.. They were shocked and Armaan was double shocked.. Rahul never showed this biased and emotional side of his for Aliya.. Surely if he had to choose between Shilpa and Aliya, Aliya would be the one.

"Aise nahi hota hai.." Tanya objected.. After all.. Shilpa and Rahul's would be were Annanya's bahu.. Aliya was Tanya's daughter in law.. Comparision could take place in future..

"Kyun nahi ho sakta? Baat to sahi hai..." Armaan interrupted.. "Aliya value karegi.." he added..
"Yeh tum kese keh sakte ho k baaki do nahi karengi?" Dadi smiled and asked the two..

"Jitna maine apni biwi ko jana hai.. Wo apki baat rakhegi lekin.. issne locker mein he pade rehna hai phir! Behtar hai app kisi aise ko dein jo jaanti hai, samajhti hai! And she is chalu enough to use it.." Armaan smiled..

"Arre.." Dadi frowned at the two.. They were bluntly telling them to give all 3 to Aliya. "Tum samjhao kuch.." Dadi looked at Annanya..

"Appne mujhe nahi inhe choice di thi.. Aur wo apni choice apko bata chuke hain!!" Annanya smiled.. Right or Wrong was on its own place but it was cute to see this biasness of them for Aliya..

...

Armaan asked Shilpa to prepare one suitcase which will be like a one stop shop for her which she can open easily and that he will also keep his stuff in that.. The other would be tight locked and only be opened in chill mode.

He even made Shilpa confuse at one point of time and she thought.. "Kahan dupatte ka itna bhoot sawar tha aur kahan mera shaadi se pehle wala all without duappata sab pack karwa diya.." She shook her head and continued to pack..

Someone like Armaan Mallik who is used to enter and exit as if going out for a walk was traumatize when due to his dear wife this much of the grand exit got prepared.. Malhotras also joined them for the Night and he was like.. "Kya musibat hai.. Ab melodrama bhi hoga.." He shook his head and switched his mind to the work Rohail was supposed to do and Armaan was reading on and off the whole day..

Armaan being Armaan have made himself this much impactful professionally that once he say a thing to someone, they actually feel willing to do it.. He asked the person who was supposed to provide all the data and study material to Rohail for the meeting in Dehli to email him all so that he will only be doing the meeting in Dehli and will be well prepared from home.

It was time to almost start putting things in the car when Rahul sided Armaan... "Rohail ne minimum do hafte kaha hai.. Yeh kaam chaar din ka tha.. yahan kya scene dikhaenge?" He asked..

"Bana lo naa koi bahana.." Armaan was low in ideas at the moment..

"Main kahan se banaoon??" Rahul glared at Armaan.. After Armaan will leave, he will be alone in this here..
They both stayed quiet giving it a thought and then Rahul popped up with an idea.. "Lets say there is a training jo usske liye beneficial hogi.. Aur tumhe last minute pe pata chala aur wo kahin bahar London, NewYork mein hai to tumne bhej diya.."

"Not Bad!!" Armaan patted Rahul's shoulder as if he has done some really amaizing work..

Soon all sort of GoodByes took place where Armaan was sidelined as if he doesn't exist.. Ofcorse him going was normal so he doesn't exist :P. Atlast they sat down in the car and Tata Bye Bye.. He was thankful whole baraat was not coming to the AirPort to deliver one of those typical filmy dramatic scenes..

"Urghhh... Ab inke kisi rishtedaar k ghar rukna padega?" Shilpa made a face on watching him telling the cab driver an address.. She looked down at herself from top to botton assessing if her condition is presentable enough to be infront of anyone other than her core sasuralis which she has just left back in Mumbai inside Mallik Residence.
"No ways!!" She once again boiled up inside on that little boy in the flight who spoiled her dress with that creamy chocolate shake of his.. "Urghh... yeh bache itne irritating kyun hote hain??" She gritted her teeth..
"Hello?? Mam!! kahan?" Armaan clicked fingers infront of her to which she shook her head and sat down inside..
"Hum hotel mein bhi stay kar sakte thai!!" After a lot of thought she finally said it making a face..
"Kis khushi mein?" He asked moving his head up and shutting down his phone..
"Meri halat dekhi hai? Kisi k saamne jane wali nahi hai!" She complaint and he just couldn't stop but look at her and smile.. She looked damn cute with that grumpy look on her face..
"Hmmm... Makeup bhi utar gaya hai saara!" He mocked at her..
"Arghh.. Armaan!!" She hit right on his shoulder with irritation.. "Main mazak nahi kar rahi.. mein.. huhh!!" She did not like the fact that here she is so serious and there he is making fun of her.. She was so concerned about her looks when it comes to go out infront of people outside her core area.. Even at Mallik's she make sure when she leaves her room, she is in a presentable condition instead with just her washed swollen face in the morning.. Apart from Armaan, no one has seen her in that natural morning look of hers.
"Hehehe!! I won't let you embarass.." He smiled to her and taking her hand in his rubbed it slightly... "Especially jab mujhe andaza hai k tumhare sudharne mein abhi time hai!" He Chuckled making her eyes wide open and teeth grind. Why the hell he has to make fun of everything..
"Inhe to koi fark he nahi parta hai! Sab mujhe dekhenge, phir peet peeche baatein banaege aur ye to araam se kandhe uchka k nikal jaenge!! Avoid it!!" She presumed inside angrily which was the common and natural case since her childhood.. She had wittnessed this alot..

...

The cab stopped and they got out of it.. He was normal and she was boiling inside. He paid the driver and she looked around in horror.. It was 1 in the night, the housing street they were standing right now was dark with little light which was coming from the bulbs lighting outside the houses..
"Ye... kiska ghar hai?" She asked looking around teh area and thinking whome they are about to disturb at this hour.. Maybe Sid and Nidhi, she presumed.
"Yahan bhoot rehte hain!" He joked making her frown and taking her hand in his walked forward. The guard looked at him and then opening the door again went inside his quarter.. "Aaa..." Surprised or shocked! she has so idea..
This house they were standing in was huge.. She can't think of it in Mumbai except if the person is a billioner and was living in Mumbai since like forever...
"Itna chonko nahi!! Do ghar hain! ek nahi hai.." He explain on seeing her expressions..
"Do? par lawn to ek hai!" Few confusing lines appeared on over her forehead.
"Hmmm..." He nodded in a yes and dragged her along.. This lawn was beautiful with massive amount of beautiful plants of different sizes in exact correct places and positions.. It feels like someone really has devoted his/her life to this.
She kept looking around and walking behind him quietly feeling like if she will make a noise, it would he loud and someone will wake up.
He opened the lock, got inside and the switched on the lights revealing the surprise for her.. It was a beautiful well decorated house and white sheets on furniture told her that its empty too.. "Yeh kiska ghar hai?" She finally asked.. She was not quick enough to land into some conclusion since when she left home she thought of going to Mauritius and on AirPort found out about going to Delhi.
"Yeh apke bhai sahab ka ghar hai!" He said while removing the sheet from the sofa and keeping their bag there.
"Oh!!" She took a second to digest and felt stupid atonce.. All anger and presumtions and speeches she had prepared in her mind to give if someone will say this and that went in vein.. It was all useless and now she stood there with a foolish look on her face whereas he moved around to close the door behind. He didn't took her anywhere she thought like.
"Ye to itna saaf suthra hai.." Shilpa looked around and said..
"Kyunki yahan ki safai suthrai hoti rehti hai.." He replied moving his hands and neck around to relax them.. He was tired.. "Chalo ab tum change karlo.. Then we will go to sleep." He announced..

"Apne isiliye wo wala suitcase alag se pack karne ko kaha tha.. Mujhe pehle batane mein kya ja raha tha appka?" She shot a grumpy look to him..

"Bohat kuch.." He said while picking up the suitcase and dragging it to the bedroom.. The other luggage of them was still at the AirPort. He had no intentions to drag it everywhere unnecessary..

Coincidently, Shilpa never had the hance to visit Dehli to her Bua and so this place was new for her.. She roamed around checking each and every corner of the house, witnessed the photoes on the wall.. One can just guess by seeing the photoes how great bonding was there between Piya and Vikas's mother..

"Shilpaaa!!" Armaan's loud call made her turn and head to the room he decided to rest in.. He was all ready to sleep in his Night Suit and infact was on the bed.. "Jasoosi kal kar leyna.. abhi so jao!" He commented..

"Koi nahi.." She denied the fact of doing jasoosi.. She took a step to open suitcase and found it locked.. "Bund kyun kar diya?" She asked making a face..
"Maine nahi khola.." He denied..

"Acha! To phir change kahan se kiya?" She arched her brow..
"Hahh i on and off live here!" He explained...

"Kya poori duniya mein phelaya hua hai apne apna samaan?" She shook her head and opened the suitcase to takeout something for herself..

...

Ready to sleep, she was about to go to bed when instead, she walked upto the winodw to see outside.. The glass was closed and heavy curtains were covereing it but it was beautiful outside..

"Kisi chor ko ana ho.. to kitna asaan hai!" Shilpa commented turning her head to Armaan.. "Hehhh!!" He chuckled knowing she was talking about that huge tree outside whose branches links VikasPiya's room to Aliya's room..

"Aur inko decorate bhi kiya hua hai.." Shilpa further said..
"Dikhao.." Armaan turned to her completed as Shilpa parted the curtains to show him the decorated branches.. "Pagalpan ki hadd hai!!" Armaan shook his head..

"Kyunki Vikas aur Aliya donow he bohat chatore hain!! To yeh shaakhein actually help karti thi unko adhi raat ko faaltu samaan idhar udhar transfer karne mein.. Phir Piya ne entry maari to wo to Vikas se bhi ek haath agay nikli.. No wonder uski aur Aliya ki instantly dosti hogayi thi.." He said looking at Shilpa..

"Hehehe!!" Shilpa giggled and covering the window again, came on the bed.. "Lekin Armaan!! Itna trust aur bond kese hai? I mean.. Bhaiya is not blood related anyhow!! Kisi k dill mein kya hai app nahi bata sakte.." She raised a valid point..

"Hmmm..." He made a sound thinking how to answer her.. "Lekin jo tum log dekh rahe ho.. wo final product hai!! In Process kitna time laga, how they gelled up? kya circumstances thai? Kyun itna trust hai? kese itna yaqeen hai.. Tum kese soch sakti ho ya judge kar sakti ho?" He too have a valid point..

"Phir bhi.. Trusting enough to let live in one place is.. a thing!!" She pressed her lips together..

"Hmmm and so, the story behind it would also be a thing!!" He replied her in the same way she asked.. "Lekin fikar not.. i am sure tum ja saath mein raho gi.. tumhe cheezein ache se samajh mein ajaengii!!" He smiled at her..

"Hmmm.. maybe!" She smiled back after which they closed the lights and got ready to sleep..

...

Lying down beside a sleeping Sid in the dark, Nidhi was full of sadness and anger in her heart.. It happened in the Evening when some friend of Abhay(Sid's Father) arrived along with his son.. Talks were on and Sid too looked like a really good friend of that guy..

There were some problems officially going on and that guy asked Sid to see if he can help providing some idea with it.. Nidhi was serving tea to everyone when her father in law told his friend proudly how talented his daughter in law is and how much of a asset she could turn out to be if she puts her input in whatever they were doing in..

Without her consent, Nidhi was pulled to get involved in that stupid thing and even casually asked if she could visit their office and do the detailing.. Sid interrupted saying he has some work to do tomorrow and so very casually and easily it was asked if that guy could pick her up and go to the office..

The fearless Nidhi was not at all type of the girl others were imagining... She was angry over Sid for even involving her in this.. A tear escaped her eyes feeling hurt that she is considered to be the one who can go anywhere with anyone..

Without a try, her heart ached for the man who was so protective about her.. The man who used to watch over her.. Comparision itself entered in her heart because she knew no matter what would have happened, he wouldn't have agreed to let her go with a stranger.. She could go alone but not with a stranger. He values her consent, he knows her in and out and Sid just decided here considering it to be no problem for her..

It was about nothing but her reputation, opinion and will.. She never learned to compromise on that. Each time, that idiot first Mallik of her life had valued it, started revolving around her head like a film.. Without a try her heart was trying and xpecting everything from Sid which Armaan does for her.. That was the problem!

...

"Armaan!!" Shilpa patted his shoulder lightly to wake him up..
"Hmmm??" He moved his head waking up in the dark.. "Kya hua?" He asked in his sleepy tone..

"Mujhe thund lag rahi hai!! Yahan kuch mota hai bhi nahi urhne ko.." She complaint..
"Zahir hai.. yahan koi rehta hai hai to kahan se hoga!" He replied in his sleep..

"Tch!!" She made a face.. "Uthen naa!!" She nudged him hard this time.. "Main jum jaoongi!!" She frowned..
"Tumhare samaan mein nahi hai kuch?" He finally opened his eyes and asked..
"Wo suitcase nahi hai yahan.." She replied biting her lower lip out of innocense..

"Mera kuch pehn lo.." He suggested.. "Ulmari mein jacket hoga." He pointed at the wardrobe.. She got up, switched on the light and walking upto the cupborad opened it to see...
"Huh!!" Her jaw dropped down on finding a whole range of Armaan's clothes.. She arched her brows, turned to look at him and then turned back again.. "Yeh to araam se poora maheena guzar sakte hain yahan.." She mumbled and then took out a red cozy jacket of him..

"Ab kya hua?? mil gayi naa? ab light off kar do!" He said rubbing his eyes on finding her standing as it is...

"Baarish ho rahi hai i think!" She walked upto the window and removing the curtains a bit, peeked outside.. "Haan!! Baarish ho rahi hai!" She conformed..

"Achi baat hai! Chalo ab so jao.." He made a face, ignored her excitement and covered his face with the pillow.. "Uhh.." Shilpa made a face looking at him and once again turned to look through the window..

Closing the lights, she lied down but her heart was so willing to see the beautiful outside in this rain.. From the window, where she looked down, it was covered with heavy trees and the picture formed in her mind was kind of a forest one... Rain in Forest! How exciting that would look..

She clearly remembered how much she wanted to enjoy in coorg.. She and Muskaan even tried to plan out to sneak away and go for some sight seeing in this rain but due to excessive cold and people around them, it was impossible..

She bit her lower lip mischeviously and slowly got out of the bed making sure Armaan doesn't wake up.. TipToeing, she left the room and bye bye.. His jacket was so warm that cold was not stopping her from doing anything now..

A teen kid got to spend a whole day alone at home without parents!! How exciting!! Shilpa's excitement was same!!

"OMG!! This is beautiful!!" She praised as she went near the area, she saw from the window still under the shed so that no water will touch her.. That small part of the house was covered with three heavy trees of something.. A swing was hanging in the middle of it. "Yeh ladki pakka bohat bada item hai! Isske saath bohat maza ayega!" Shilpa praised Aliya rubbing her hands together..

A small bulb under the shed was also shinning making it not very dark and Shilpa saw some blulb shaped fruits hanging in those trees in bunches.. She couldn't guess what they were but were adding beauty to it.. She so wanted to grab one but then she had to go in the rain.. She was still wondering over when all of a sudden the lights went off making it so dark that she can't even see her own hands..

"Hhh.." Her breath stopped, She got scared..

"Mumma!!" She started shivering and cold actually started hitting her.. "Uhh.." Keeping her hands on the side wall, she tried to find her way inside... "Ahhh..." She jumped up on feeling a thin movement over her feet and first thought striked her was the snake.. She jumped up and fall down crying..

Sacred of the snake, she once again tried to gather herself and ran touching the wall to find way.. She entered the house which was all dark and banging the door behind took a quick step only to be hit by something.. "Aaa!!" She yelled out..
"SHILPAAA!!!" It was Armaan's loud roar to shut her down... She silenced immediately when she knew it was him and then fell into his arms in no time..

...

In the light of mobile torch, they were in the kitchen warming up water in the kettle so that it can be mixed with cold water in the bathroom and then the shivering Shilpa will take a warm bath and sleep.

"Ainda khabardaar jo tum raat ko kamre se aise bahar nikal k gayi to..." He frowned pointing a finger at her..
"Mujhe kya pata tha light chali jayegi!" She tried to defend herself like a child..

"Light aye ya jaye.. Itni raat ko aise akele bahar jaane ka kaam?" He arched his brow.. Bahar koi bohat chehel pehel thi jo tum nikal gayi?" He scolded her.. "Dehli ki Thund mein baarish!! Jiski tumhe bilkul bhi adat nahi hai!! Isska sirf ek matlab hai tumhara beemaar parna!" He told her the end result.

They were still in the argument when they felt some short of light and Surprise!! The gas ended and no hot water. "Just great!" He commented. "Ab lagta hai maasi ko jagana padega!" He added..
"Huh??" She didn't liked the idea..

Mujhse hi aaj mujhko mila de
Dekhoon aadaton mein, tu hai ki nahi

Wrapping her arms around her chest, she leaned over the door looking out in the dark, hearing pittar pattar sound of the rain.. The world has turned up side down again. She closed her eyes and it all started like a film..

"God! Main usse face kese karoongi?" Nidhi bit her lower lip nervously after waking up from that last idiotic night.. Her head was spinning with pain and the first thing she remembered about last Night when she wake up was that... They shared an unexpected small kiss..

"No no no!!" She shook her head freaking out with the thought that things are going to damage between them.. She started shaking with fear, she felt like as if she has committed a sin. "Main.. Main show he nahi karungi k mujhe kal ka kuch bhi yaad hai! Come on Nidhi!! You can do this!!" She sighed tried to compose herself..

Har saans se pooch ke bataa de
Inke faaslon mein, tu hai ki nahi

"Tum maan jaati?" He questioned her making her heart stiff.. Only she knew how she held herself back from showing that stiffness on her face.. "Tum pooch k to dekho! Tumse zyaad koi nazdeek nahi hai mere.. to phir main kese tumhare ilaawa kisi aur k baare mein soch sakti hoon?" Words and feelings just roamed around her mind but never came on her mouth..

Mujhse hi aaj mujhko mila de
Dekhoon aadaton mein, tu hai ki nahi

"Mujhe samajh nahi araha hai.. Wo Vikas ki cousin hai and you surely know what i feel about that family!" Armaan gritted his teeth telling her all about his Roka on the phone where she just listened, felt heart and said nothing...

"Lekin.. Tum usse mauqa diye bagair kese judgement pass kar sakte ho?" She tried to keep her voice same.. "Wese bhi.. family k liye he sahi chance to dena haina? Kya pata shaadi na karne ka iraada tumhara badal jaye!" What else would she say? She had to say something to him.

A man practically living with you from a very long time.. Has no girl other than you in his life, is protective about you, care for you, is not your brother! And even then he is not asking you out or proposing you.. One can't just take a chance to ask when there is a fear of loosing the comfort in the shared relationship.

Har saans se pooch ke bataa de
Inke faaslon mein, tu hai ki nahi

He was now a committed man and she has this legal problem enough to make her go jail. She was done therapying herself to subside the romantic feelings she had for him and stay the way she is.. He has choosen his life partner and for sure that kiss was a mistake for him too.

"Agar tum aur Sid paper marriage kar leyte ho! That would solve the problem!" Armaan kept the proposal infront of her and she just kept looking at him like a dummy. "Usse zara bhi farq nahi parta.." Her eyes got filled with tears but she was quick to hide them..

"Tumhara dimagh kharab hogaya hai!" She told him in a strict tone and walked out of his office.. "Wo samajhta kya hai khud ko? Apni zindagii nahi dedi maine usske haath mein jo wo jab chahe mere liye faisle le.." She cried walking into her appartment..

"Main theek thi naa!! Mujhe bana k, sawar k.. aasmaan se neeche phenkne ki zaroorat nahi thi tumhe!" More tears dropped down her cheek.. "Sab meri ghalti hai!! Mujhe pata nahi kyun laga k humesha meri zindagii mein rahe ga! Wo mera hai aur mera rahega!" he covered her face with her palms..

"Maine kyun nahi socha k wo to humesha se yaari nibhaane wala raha hai! Main dost se zyaada kuch hoon nahi aur kabhi ho nahi sakti.. Wo mera kabhi nahi tha! Kabhi nahi hoga!" She sniffed..

Main aas-paas tere aur mere paas..
Tu hai ki nahi
Tu hai ki nahi
Tu hai ki nahi
Tu hai ki nahi...

She saw him going restless after she denied for Paper Marraige with Sid, He didn't forced her into anything after that but then she saw things changing.. She saw him ready to take her hand forever and destroy everything else he has..

In a moment, she approached him and before he will say what she wanted to hear from so long, she agreed to marry Sid on paper.. There was no way she will let him marry her for wrong reason or any right reason other than Love. She can marry any other man for any reason but He.. No! He was her first Love doesn't matter if she was not the same for him.

"Sid ko nahi jaanti lekin Tumhe bohat achi tarah se jaanti hun!! Tum mujhe jaan boojh kar kabhi khai mein nahi dhakelo gay!" She said standing infront of him.. "Iss baare mein kisi ko nahi pata chalega and i need a divorce as soon as possible!" She pointed a finger at him..

Daudte hain khwaab jinpe rasta woh tu lage
Neend se jo aankh ka hai waasta woh tu lage

The heat built up around her cheeks making them pink, she looked away with shyness when his eyes dugged into hers.. He pushed her against the wall blocking her from going away of his sight.. "Ab thund ka kuch to ilaag karna haina!" He huskily whispered near her ear sending a current in her..

She sucked her breath looking down. His one arm snaked around her waist, his lips dropped a kiss near her neck turning her more cold.. Shivering, she took a step away and sucked her breath even more when he held her by her shoulders and slowly pulled of his jacket she was wearing..

Her heart beat raised to its maximum, as he picked her up in his arms and placed gently on the bed..

Tu badalta waqt koi khushnuma sa pal mera
Tu woh lamha jo na thehre aane waala kal mera

He kissed her feeling honoured of the only one having right to.. He touched her feeling proud, she only belongs to him.. He made love to her pronouncing She is Mine!

He was at loss when she entered in his life like a fresh air, new chapter. She makes him smile, she makes him laugh.. With her, he doesn't have to over think, he doesn't have to worry so much.. He learned to loose control when she came into his life and he atually felt like.. Loosing Control is Amaizing!!

Main aas-paas tere aur mere paas..

She snuggled a little closer to him in her sleep and he being the light sleeper felt disturbed, he opened his eyes a little and then closed again. A light smile graced his lips before he fall asleep again.

Tu hai ki nahin
Tu hai ki nahin

With slow and dead steps, Nidhi returned back to her room.. Sid was sleeping peacefully and she couldn't stop but look at him with her moist eyes.. He has no idea how bad things are around him..

She kept standing, kept looking at him until she was too tired to think and stand.. With heavy eyes, she atlast retired to bed and covering herself with the quilt, closed her eyes..

Tu hai ke nahin
Tu hai ki nahin...

Feeling the disturbance in her sleep, Shilpa slowly opened her eyes only to find Mr Husband playing around disturbing her with her own hairs.. "Uth jao.." He said placing a kiss over her cheek..

"Kyunnn??" She made a face covering up her face with the pillow..
"Kyunki hum yahan sone nahi aye hain!! Mujhe kaam hai.. i need to leave! Aur bhook bhi lag rahi hai mujhe.." He pulled away the pillow from her face again..

"To yahn wese bhi kuch nahi hai jo main apke liye naashta banaoon.. Aur aap ne jana hai office.. maine thodi jaana hai.. sone dein mujhe." She whined in her sleepy tone.

"Exactly!! Yahan kuch nahi hai, isliye naashta karne padose mein jana hai!" He turned her around and bent down over her..
"Uhh.. Phir app chale jaenge!! Main kya karoongi?" She pouted..
"Maasi kha nahi jaengi tumhe.." He said removing the strand of hair from her face..
"Lekin main kya baat karoongi unse?" She asked...

"Welll... There is a second option!" He came on his point.. "Tumhe Nidhi k saath chor diya jaye to kesa rahega?" He questioned only to see her expressions relaxing down..
"Hmmm... ye acha idea hai!" She agreed to which he smiled and got out of the bed.. "Ab tayyar ho jao jaldi se.." He said before going to the bathroom..

...

Getting Out of Vikas's house.. they were about to head into Aliya's when on the way Armaan stopped and arched his brows at Shilpa... "Saanp??" He said looking at the rope on the side..

"Aaa.. haan to.. Itna andhera tha! Mujhe kya pata??" Shilpa raised her shoulders rolling her tongue inside.. "Hehh.. pagal!" He shook his head over her and they were about to move ahead when She help his hands.. "Armaan!! Star fruit!!" Shilpa pointed on those blub shaped fruits she saw last night..

"To?" He shot a weird look to her.. He excitement was making him believe she has never seen before.. "Pehle nahi dekhe kya kabhi?" He asked casually..

"Nahi naa.. aise darakht pe ladke nahi dekhe.. " Her eyes were telling him that she wants to grab them.. One of the other two were mango and indian almond tree.. Almonds were green and mangoes were not there due to season.

"Please naa.." She pleaded him..

"Tumhe khana hai.. tum torro!!" He pointed her the way..
"Nahi naa.. app tor k dein mujhe.. chalein!!" She pushed him forward towards the trees..

"Hmmm kum nahi hai yeh bhi!!" He shook his head and moved ahead to pull out a bunch of star fruits for her..

"Yahan peeche aur bhi hain!" Shilpa sneaked out to the back area of the two houses whci was also covered with trees while he was trying to pull a bunch for her..
"Arre unka ghar hai.. jo chahe lagaen wo!! Oppar se unki pagal beti.." He made a face..

"Chalo.." He gave the bunch of fruits in her hand and asked her to come..

"Yehh..." Shilpa pointed at a tree..
"Urghhh Shilpa!!" Armaan scolded her.. "Ye kiwi ka darakht hai.. wo side pe lagay hue bhi hain kuch.." He pointed out.. "Aur yeh to side pe gamle latak rahe hain! Ye strawberries k hain jiska season nahi hai!! Aliya ko khattapasand hai to ussko jo chahiye sab yahan laga hai.. ab chalein?" He showed her the way back..

"Mujhe yeh bhi chahiye.." She said in a baby tone..

"Kacha hai! Pakka inke ghar pe mil jayega! Ab chalo.." He dragged her away...

...

"Tumhe bata k ane mein takleef hoti hai?" Avantika scolded Armaan..
"Maasi!! Mujhe mom ki tarah app pe bhi bilkul bharosa nahi hai.. Ande tamatar uthate le ana!! kya bharosa?" He raised his shoulders only to get a hit on his head by Avantika infront of Shilpa..

"Hehh.." Shilpa giggled witnessing the khit pit.. Avantika has made her the kiwi smoothie along with starfruit and few sweet ones as Armaan introduced Shilpa to Avantika only by saying.. "Aliya ki tarah khatte k peeche pagal!"

"Aur kiya kya hai tum logon ne meri beti k saath? Gayab hogayi hai.. aur kabhi baat ho jaye to thuki thuki!!" Ajay narrowed his eyes at Armaan..
"Maine to nahi kaha usse k without support wedding projects utha le.. ab bhugte!" He raised his shoulders carelessly.. "And thankfully wo bohat busy hai.. ajj kal kitchen se gayab hai! Warna aye din kuch naya experiment!!" He shook his head..

"Wese ye kya cafe a shosha chora hua hai tum logon ne?" Avantika frowned at him.. "Kahan tak chale ga?" She asked..

"Mine sirf land purchase kiya hai... Baaki mujhe koi idea nahi hai uske baare mein!! I don't know mil jul k kya kar rahe hain!!" He once again held back his hands in that department..

...

"Main nahi jaoongi.. koi bhi bahana kar k mana kar do tum!" Nidhi straight away refused to go when it was about time..
"Arre.. tumhi ne to agree kiya tha.." Sid was not expecting this..

"Mujhse kisi ne nahi poocha tha! Aur maine haan bhi nahi kaha tha.." Nidhi spoke out with her eyes dug in the drawer as if she is busy finding something.. "Shayad tum sab ko laga k main kahin bhi kisi k saath bhi chali jati hoon.." Once again it hit her hard and she felt like crying..

"Maine aisa kab kaha hai?" Sid didn't understand what happened to her instantly.. These days Nidhi was driving him nuts.

"Maine bhi to haan nahi kaha tha.. aise he samajh liya naa tum logon ne.." She bit her lower lip.. She was talking without looking at Sid.. Her tone holds complain and sadness.. She wasn't loud or angrily fighting.

"Tum kis kism ki baatein kar rahi ho Nidhi?" Sid frowned.. she was making him angry.. "Ussi waqt mana kar dena tha agar problem thi to.. " He wasn't just getting what the hell was she implying.. She was not some village girl who don't know how to speak for herself.

"Aur tumhe mujhe involve karne se pehle mujhse poochna chahiye tha!" She said with a straight face.. "Main kisi k saath bhi uski gadi mein beth k kahin nahi chali jati hoon! I am not one of those!" She passed him a stern look..

"What?" Sid was stunned on what she pointed out.. He was way behind to think that way..

"Shayad kisi wajah se tumhe yeh ghalat fehmi hogayi ho.. but i am not that Sid!" She had something strong in her voice.. He was shocked viewing this out of blue topic and side today.. He moved his lips to say something but the conversation broke as they heard a knock on the door..

"Hello??" The loud boom of voice and he was there smiling!!

"You got to be kidding me!!" Sid snaped out from the previous serious moment, smiled and walked up to greet him, hug him whereas Nidhi stayed at her place trying to compose herself.. Armaan was only affending her right now..

"Tum yahan kese??" Sid asked coming out of the hug..

"Kuch papers sign karne hain, meetings hain, socha Shilpa ko yahan chor dun!" He smiled back and told.."Tumhari biwi ki company mein!" He added looking at Nidhi whi turned away her face.
"Oh!! Neeche hai?" Sid was surprised to hear that Shilpa was here too..
"Ahmm..." Armaan nodded in a yes and Sid walked outside to go downstairs and greet her..

She was not over with the recent issue and was still trying to control her tears which were more determined to come out especially after seeing Armaan with whome her heart was connected anyhow and it affects her..

He didn't say a word, silence still works for them.. He stepped forward on seeing a tissue box on the side and gave her.. "Here.."
"Main khud le sakti hoon!" She gave him a cold shoulder and went inside the bathroom.

aya woh phir Nazar aise
Baat chidne lagi phir se
Aankhon mein chubhta kal ka dhuan

Tears automatically started flowing down her cheeks with speed.. The worst thing that needed to happen was happening.. He was infront of her at the wrong time. She so needed a shoulder to cry and it was supposed to be Sid who needs to understand, sort it out, give her a shoulder to cry not Armaan.

She had hidden her tears, held back the feeling of hurt from coming on her face and here the wrong person walked in with tissue in his hand. The betrayal heart jumped to fall in his hold and cry.. Tell him what went wrong, complain him how misunderstood she is by her new family. "Nahi!! Tum nahi ro gi.. No!!" She looked at herself in the mirror and told herself.

"O God! Why is this so complicated?" She held her hairs in frustration.. "Mujhe kya ho raha hai? Main nahi ja sakti iss tarah kisi k saamne.. I need to be alone! Mujhe nahi rehna yahan!!" She cried more and now hiccups started forming..

Haal tera na humsa hai
Is khushi mein kyon gumsa hai
Basne laga kyon phir woh jahan

Shilpa easily became the reason for Nidhi to stayback and Sid providing an excuse to that guy.. Armaan said nothing but he knew he has started to loose inside.. Those tears and those eyes! He just cannot handle.. His heart just lifted up from the surrounding.. He has started to feel lost.

Leaving Shilpa with Nidhi, Armaan left with Sid.. "Shilpa ka passport Visa kuch zyaada he jaldi nahi hogaya?" Sid chuckled looking at Armaan..
"Itne saal sewa ki hai.. itna bhi faida na uthaoon?" Armaan rolled his tongue inside..
"Hahahaha!! Chehre pe sukoon agay hoga naa sab ke!!" Sid laughed..

"Abay sukoon chor.. Mujhe gate tak chorne koi na aye.. iske liye poori baraat agayi!! Thankfully AirPort nahi aye saare!!" Armaan released some gossip making Sid laugh more..

"Wese.. Nidhi theek hai?" Armaan asked trying to sound very general..

"Hhh Niddhiii!!!" Sid led out a deep sigh... "Mujhe baat karni hai tumse ek.." Sid started some serious conversation as they drove.. "Pareshaan hota ja raha hoon main.. maybe u could.. help!"

"Kya hogaya?" Armaan prayed inside its nothing.

"Yaar... Its not like maine abhi Ni k saath rehna shuru kiya hai.. Lekin ab.." Sid shook his head.. "Main usse samajh nahi pa raha hun jitni jaldi wo badal rahi hai!" Sid looked actually tensed..

"Matlab?" He frowned..

"Yaar.. Wo itni oversensitive si hogayi hai! Ajeeb jhijhak si agay hai uss mein jese. Bhae kisi baat se inkaar hai, koi baat hai to bol do.. Lekin wo chup ho jayegi! Aur phir baad mein jese bohat effort daal k mujhse kahegi.. Ya nahi kahegi!" Frustration was visible in Sid's voice..

"Ek dum se theek bhi ho jayegi aur ek dum se dobara uss depressing mode mein chali jayegi! Maine samajhne ki koshish ki.. poochne ki koshish ki.. Lekin.. I don't know!!" Sid felt helpless..

"Can you believe it? Wo Mom ki har baat maanti hai!! I mean mujhe saamne dikh raha hai k wo jo usse karne ko kaha ja raha hai usse pasand nahi hai!! Typical koi to reaction do.. taane maro! Mu banao! Mujhse gussa ho jao.. Mom ko makhan lagao lekin kuch nahi!! Jo mom kahengi.. wo chup chap kar degi!" Sid scratched his head..

Armaan's mouth was hung open.. This was a shock and he was unable to form words and say something.. What Sid was talking about was the girl he knew years back when he first met her.. And that too the upset mode version of hers.

"Wo itni complicated hoti ja rahi hai.. samajh nahi araha mujhe!!" Sid shook his head..

"Hmm.." This was all Armaan was able to say..

"Hmmm kya?? Kuch bakwaas to karo!! Tumse kuch kaha? tum kuch keh do!!" Sid looked at Armaan with a frown.

"Main kya kahoon? Main to sunn raha hun!" Armaan said what came out of his mouth..

...

Woh jahan dur jis se gaye the nikal
Phir se aankhon mein karti hai jaise pehal
Lambha beeta hua ,Dil Dukhata raha
Khamakha bewajah Khwaab Bunta raha

As Neha chatted with Shilpa, Nidhi found her way to her room asking Neha to sit and chat with Shilpa and she will wrapp the gift Neha would be taking with herself to where ever she will be going in sometime..

The truth was she still needed sometime alone.. Her heart was over flowing from emotions and she really wanted to cry but all alone.. Closing the door behind, she fell on the bed and cried, cried her heart out..

Nidhi Verma was the ugli duckling of her family.. She was slow, she doesn't know how to speak to anyone, how to demand or wish for anything from her own family, doesn't have any friends.. She was kind of a geek who was always behind the books..

Her father sent her for trecking because he thought she hates winters and people learn life lesson by doing and succeeding what they hate and don't find themselves right for.. He wanted Nidhi to manage herself all alone..

She met Armaan in her darkest dieing hour.. She saved him from going to hell when he tried to escape and hsot her by mistake, by not taking his name. It wasnot because she had a big heart.. It was because amongst all wrongs, he may not be right but not wrong enough not to hold to..

Being a detached person, hugging male friends, even shaking hands was a big thing for her.. She shared her first physical intimacy for whatever reasons and purpose with him only.. Later he came close to her not because he became her friend! It was because she fell in Love with HIm.
His friends, became hers, He changed her.. Took fight for her! When inappropriate tasks were assigned to her where hse was completely uncomfortable, he just gets it by her looks and puts conditions.. Slowly he took her complete charge.. "She won't do this! She won't go there! Not with this person"

He taught her alot, he was the only man she learned how to talk to.. They became close enough to share everything.. The most silly to most deepest and darkest.. The only thing they didn't was how they actually felt abut eachother.

She was okay with the fact of him getting married to someone else, she was okay with every fact.. She was just proud to fall in love with a guy like that, WHO WAS HER ALMOST EVERYTHING! BEST FRIEND AND A MAN SHE BLINDLY TRUSTS..

She thought to herself, even if one day everything will go wrong with her, she will feel lucky enough to love Armaan. Who is like non other she have ever came across with. Her hard journey had made her meet good and bad almost every type of man who are some what like someone but there was non like him.

She met his family, she saw his relations.. she saw how dear he is to them. Worst thing ever, she even saw how Shilpa is given right and permission to dream him on. And then he pulled that stunt of shooting himself when those freaks tried involving Shilpa in. She realised that day, what Shilpa has became for him deep inside and that he actually don't care much or see what Nidhi goes through...

He shot himself infront of her, though gun was empty and he just fainted but in that moment he took away her life.. She will feel hurt, she will be broken, he just didn't thought for even a moment..

She completely devoted her heart to feel everything for Sid. Armaan was her best and worst and so he remained what he was but there was no harm in tryting to give Sid an upper hand.

She shot him on her wedding to save him, But she was happy with her wedding. He took away her happiness by only taking her name in unconsious.. She asked herself if she was fooled by him all this while. He seems unhappy with his own marriage (court marriage) Why? He was challanging and throwing alot at her..

He even didn't turned her world upside down by telling her that Shilpa is the grand daughter of whome.. But when Manish collided with her and gave her a reality check she was running away from turned her world upside down..

He knew Shilpa was grand daughter of whome from the beginning.. so, he pulled that shooting himself stunt for her? He always knew she was safe. Kabir Malhotra's whole family was safe! That was the deal these officers do when they surrender themselves for something big like that.

After her marriage, she was forced by Manish to open her eyes and see.. He loved her the same way she did to him.. He shot himself for her that night. She could have been the reason of hurt and sadness of all the wonderful people she has met of his life. He easily made her guilty..

Then slowly it again hit her. He told her Shilpa's truth just two hours before Manish did.. So? He didn't tell her all this while and only when she was about to learn it herself from someone else.. He was sulking from day one that how he don't want Shilpa and needs reasons for breakup and bakwaas... All thia was a lie. He needed no reason from anyone! He himself had the biggest reason.

He hurted her badly, made her angry, she threw away the ring which had the tracking device.. She was so hurt, so weak she needed something, she had no idea what and she surrendered herself to Sid for all the wrong reasons.

From the next morning when storm inside her stopped, She was ashamed!! Ashamed for what she did with Sid. He loves her, cares for her, doesn't wana hurt her like Armaan and what did she gave him in return?

One moment she forgets and turns normal with Sid and the other get ashamed and disgusting of herself.. She feels like a characterless person when she hears she is the first girl in Sid life and that he is not in her life but a jerk is.

Armaan left her sight, she was unable to meet eyes with her own self and her downturn spiral started.. She started becaming the same person she was before she met Armaan.. There was no one to watch over her now in that way. She is considered to meet or go on a ride with any stranger.. No!

It all became complicated! And now Mr Armaan Mallik was again here.. Fow what? She just dn't want to see him. She feels awful that even after so much, her heart ached to fall in his arms and cry. It feels awful that sense of comfort hit her when she saw him. She was tagging herself the worst and she needed to cry it out.

...

Abhay and Neha were supposed to leave for a day for something and so they left.. It was only Nidhi and Shilpa at home now..

"Seriously? You found out about coming here on AirPort?" Nidhi tried to laugh hearing Shilpa how her trip was like from last night.. She was now a very good actress.

"Haan.. lekin mere liye adventure hogaya!!" Shilpa giggled..

"Hmmm.. aur adventure mein maza hai!" Nidhi too giggled.. The ladies had a mug of coffee in their hands and they were enjoying drinking and talking.. They talked about the new sasural they had, the items, the gossips and what not..

Shilpa told Nidhi how Armaan visited surprisingly and then had a one on one the other day at the party with the people who made gossips last night in their party.. "Oho!! Uss mein to champion hai wo.." Nidhi shook her head..

"Haan but.. i don't know aisa hona bhi chahiye ya nahi.. but i felt proud!! Mujhe aisa laga jese kisi ne mujhe taunt kiya tha aur unhun ne mere behalf pe jawab diya!!" Shilpa opened her heart..

"Hmmm... its a thing!" Nidhi nodded in a yes and got lost for a while.. "No matter how strong and fighter you are!! Acha lagta hai jisko apni zindagii saupi hai wo apke liye larre.." She pressed her lips together.. She was feeling emotions running down her once again.. The one who used to only fight for her was now Shilpa's.. Fight for her and she was left alone here.

"Aur?? Tumhare ghar pe sab kese hain?" Nidhi felt like inquiring about that disgusting Kabir Malhotra..
"Sab theek!! Ab project bhi over hogaya hai.. to Amit bhaiya, Vikram.. in sab ki bhi wapsi ho jayegi.. Muskaan ko bhi thodi chutti milegi dadi k jaane se.." Shilpa giggled..

"Hehehe.." Nidhi smiled fake.. "Ummm.. wese tumhare dad kya karte thai? i mean unki death kese hui?" She asked..

"Wo Army mein thai.. He was at something aur phir wahan se ek din khabar ayi k..." Shilpa took a deep cold breath..
"Oh!! Tum attached thi unse?" Nidhi inquired..
"Arre nahi nahi.. Main to peda bhi nahi hui thi!!" Shilpa smiled..

"Oh!!" Nidhi pressed her lips together.. "Matlab insaan se janwar banne jaldi he chala gaya tha!" She thought bitterly..
"Lekin.. dadi aur papa ko bohat afsoos hota hai.. unki body nahi mili na kabhi.." Shilpa gave further details..

"Kese milti? Apni body bana k humari jo bigarne pe tulla hua tha!" Nidhi cursed him more inside and got lost in the horrific day she met him for the first time.

"Ouch.." Shilpa's groan made Nidhi snapped out of her thoughts and she saw Shilpa rubbing her arms.. She pulled up her sleeve a little and it was all red like a rash..

"Yeh kya hua?" Nidhi asked..

"Pata nahi yaar.. ajeeb khujli si shuru ho gayi hai!!" Shilpa replied in irritation and after few minutes it got worse, all over her feet and body..

"Tumhe allergy hogayi hai kisi cheez se.." Nidhi said looking at Shilpa.. "Mere pass anti-allergy padi hai.. main laati hun!" She said and went away for a while..

"Iss mein to neend hoti hai!" Shilpa said looking at the medicine, Nidhi brought..
"Haan to kha k so jao!! Yahan wese bhi ajj poora din koi hone nahi wala hai.. who cares tum kitni deir soti ho!" Nidhi raised her shoulders carelessly..

After taking the medicines, Shilpa decided to take a Dettol bath and change into some other dress.. She thought she will be able to manage sleep but then it started coming really hard and so she slept.. Atleast after the medicine, she was feeling much better..

...

Memories have the power to be recalled anytime, at anyplace you want them to... The emotions associated with them can also be brought back to live.

"Armaan dekho tum... kya kar rahe ho??" The officer tried to stop him...
"Wohi jo bohat pehle karna chahiye tha... Na main rahunga!! na tumhare paas kuch blackmail karne ko bache ga!! I don't want to feel anything more!!" He yelled with all the power... "Issko bhi maar dena usske baad!!" He pointed over Nidhi!! "Aur agar nahi maara to tum khud he suicide kar leyna!! kyunki yeh to tumhe jeene nahi denge!!" He gave his last suggestion to Nidhi!!
"Armaan tum pagal ho gaye ho!!" Nidhi tried to stop him.. "Nidhi stop!!!" Armaan fired near her feet to stop her.."Ahh!!" Nidhi jumped up as a reflex.. Surely blood was all over his head "This is the End!!" Danger was dripping from all over his voice..
"Armaan please nahi!!!" Nidhi begged him..
"Arre tum pagal hogaya ho!! Neeche rakho usse!!" The officer tried to stop him.. "I didn't signed up for this!!!! You signed up for this!! This was your job!! Humay bandi bana diya tum logon ne.. Saans leyna azaab kar diya!! Ab busss!!" He yelled again keeping the gun over his forehead..
"Armaaan!!!" The office also got panic and before one could react the trigger was pressed and the loud shot boomed in the air.. "Armaaan!!!" Nidhi's voice got stuck in her throat, she covered her face with her palms...
A pin drop silence was there in the environment... Nidhi's breath stopped, slowly she removed her hands from her face and there he was lying on the floor motionless..

Anger gushed into her subsiding the emotions such as fear and sadness she was carrying with herself since morning... She once again was able to gather herself, her gesture, her posture, everything! Her heart was not weak anymore, not atleast at the moment.

"Khane ka kya karun?" Nidhi called Sid and asked..
"Kya matlab kya karun?? Tum logon ne khana nahi khaya abhi tak?" Sid asked narrowing his eyes..
"Mujhe bhook nahi hai aur Shilpa ko kisi cheez se allergy hogayi thi so.. wo dawa le k so gayi!" She rolled her eyes..
"Allerygy?" Sid arched his brow and asked..
"Bhae mujhe nahi pata.. pairon pe rashes agaye thai! hogayi hogi kisi cheez se.. Tum ghar a ke lunch karoge to batao.. warna rehne doon.." She asked blunt and quick..

"Sss.. Subha ki baat ko le kar tum abhi tak gusse mein ho?" Sid shook his head..

"Yaani lunch nahi banoon!! Okay!" She took it as his yes and put the phone down..

"Baap re.. Ajj kisi ka to khoon karegi yeh!" Sid bit his lower lip.. "Kuch manane k liye sochna padega!!" He scratched his head..

...

"Hmm hmmhmammm" Humming, Nidhi was busy cooking her favorite recipe of speghetti for herself.. She was much better now and feeling like she has nothing to do with any guy in her life. She was planning on watching a good English Family Movie along with her lunch..

Bindaas, she switched off the lights and every source of light in the hall. She kept the bowl of speghetti on the table with dipping sauces and coke. Confortably sta down on the sofa and switched on the TV.. Her defence mechanism was so on and she was in some celebration mode.. Celebration for what? For feeling like getting hserself back. Stronger and Sharper.

The gate keeper, opened the gate for Armaan who entered inside thinking how will he find alone time to talk to Nidhi and what is going wrong with her and bla bla bla..

"Huh??" His jaw dropped down as he opened the inside door and entered.. It was all dark and a movie was playing on the TV. He took few more steps only to find Nidhi smiling looking at the scene infront and eating..

"Having Fun?!" He said out loud..

"Hi!" She tretched her lips to form a smiley face and then again turned her face to look at the TV. "Shilpa oppar guest room mein so rahi hai.. Usse allergy hogayi thi kisi cheez se, to usse anti allergy de di!" She informed him very casually..

"Arre.." Few scroching lines appeared on his forehead.. "Kis cheez se allergy hogayi?" Concern was there in his voice..

"Pata nahi.." Nidhi raised her shoulders... "Maine kuch nahi kiya.. just to be clear if you think!" She added turning her sharp, spicy gaze at him..

"Maine kab kaha hai k tumne kuch kiya hai?" He narrowed his eyes at her..

"Hehh.. " She laughed sarcastically.. "As if i'll give you a chance to say that.." She rolled her eyes.. His heart skipped a beat, he sensed danger.. Her gaze was very very dangerous.

He kept looking at her whereas she got engrossed in the move like he doesn't exist for her and he is not at all there.. Ouch! That hurts! Nidhi ignoring Armaan. He was not used to it.

"Main.. Shilpa ko dekh kar ata hun!!" He said out loud to get her attention.. But she didn't even looked at him and just raised her shoulders...

"Isko hua kya hai?" He thought while climbing stairs..

He walked inside the guest room to see if Shilpa is okay.. He took off his coat and bend down a little on her to check.. She was sleeping and has no fever or anything. He saw the leaf of medicine she ate and shook his head.. "Yeh to lumba gayi!" He smiled at her and moved out of the room.. It was time to face and deal with Hell.

Years Back in Atlanta.

"I still can't believe i am studying this bakwaas.." Nidhi gritted her teeth approaching him who was calmly seated against one of the pillar of this magnificent huge university building..

"Everything in our life is bakwaas!" He chirped looking around.. "Dekho har taraf.. itne saare logon k beech, itni badi jagah pe humay kya dhoondna hai.. we have no idea!!" He spoke out sarcastically.. "Aur yeh Ancient History!!" He slammed the history book down on his lap..

"Hehehe!! You so hate it!!" Nidhi laughed at him..

"Ha ha ha!!" Armaan made a face.. "Kuch kaam ka mila ya... hum parahi he kar rahe hain yahan.." He asked with same ugly expressions..

"Oh No!!" Nidhi's eyes widen up and she pushed Armaan a bit so that she can hide behind him.. "Kya kar rahi ho? Bhoot dekh liya kya?" He frowned at her..
"Wo idiot dikh arah hai saamne? In yellow Shirt?" Nidhi tried to point..

"So??" Armaan looked straight to point out..

"He asked me out!!" Nidhi opened up and he burst out laughing... "Hahahaha... chali jao! do din mein akal thikane ajayegi bechare ki.." He stated only to get a hit on his back.. "I will kill you Armaan!!" She gritted her teeth..

"Shhh.. My name is Nick Perish" He corrected..

"Yeah.. Whatever!!" Nidhi stood up as that guy was gone to other route and hitting Armaan on his head with the bag left... He laughed watching her go, time to time turning around and shooting fire balls at him and soon his laugh got relaced by a smile.. A dreamy smile..

The filmy thing of silky hairs go fly in the air.. Her sharp look from those kohlic eyes, her gesture, posture, everything about her... He for sure knows which direction his heart has choosen to go with her..

...

"I Found something.." He told her when they met after that stupid boring class..
"Means yahan se chutti milegi?" Nidhi asked excitedly..
"Ermmm... Problem bhi hai!" He made a face..

"Aur wo kya hai?" She rolled her eyes..
"That girl Freya Dinsil! Tumhe usse dosti karni padegi.. You need to go to her home and yeah!!! Kind a dig it.." He kept the thing on her plate..

"You know... She really likes rough and tough guys with a dimple!!" Nidhi had mischeviousness in her eyes.. "Why don't you try it?" She chuckled..

"Jhappar padega ek.." He made a face..

"Kyun??" Nidhi tried to hide her smile.. "She is beautiful! You are not committed! She is girl.. You are not a Gay!!"

"Tum... ruko zara!!" He got down on his feet and she run away as he shot those killing looks on her..

Their current life was a holiday and they were enjoying it... Its been long they were together but now a romantic angle was coming their way.. Romantic feelings have started making their way in their hearts..

...

They were in this stupid party where all intentions of them are to socialize and get to the home of a person they thought is their target.. With Mutual understanding, first Nidhi tried to be a little friendly with that Freya but clearly it was a long shot and they want an instant one.. It was upto Armaan to actually try and flirt..

"No!!!" He was petrified..

"Yes!! Go!" Nidhi kicked him in..

The Music then got loud, party turned to its full and Armaan Nidhi lost the sight of eachother.. It was nearly mid Night and Armaan couldn't seems to find Nidhi anywhere.. "Kahan gayi bhae??" He looked around with an Eagle eye.. At that point of time mobile was short and couldn't tempered with to fit in any tracking devices.. Trackers were only on Computers and big..

Worried, got out to see if she is near the car or somewhere only to find her unconscious over the bonnet of their car... "Oye!! Isse kya hua??" He patted her cheek to wake her up.. "Tumne kab se peena shuru kar diya?" He shook his head and once again tried to wake her up..

She opened her heavy eyes a little and yelled.. "Hatooo..." Full in tully mode..
"Gadi mein betho.." He tried to keep her in his hold before she falls.. She was not just able to stand on her own.. That much drunk she was.
"Uhmmm...NNNaaii.." She fell flat on his chest with closed eyes..

"Hmmm..." He took a deep breath shaking his head, she looked really cute to him.. "You can't blow our cover.." He whispered to her ear smiling and then picking her in his arms, opened the door of the pessanger's seat and tried to make her sit in..

Reaching home, he took her to her room and was about to lay her down when she once again started making a fuss out of it.. "Tummm..." She held his collar and then fell flat on the bed with him on top of her.. "Haan.. badi jaan hai!" He commented making a face..

"Nidhi!! Theek se leyto!" He once again patted her cheeks to make her wake up a bit enough to leave him and sleep straight.. "Nidddhhhiii!!!" He tried once again but this time when those eyes opened up they were captivating..

Chills ran down his spine as that moment.. That moment was all ready to change his equation with her.. It just happened, it was not planned, not intended, not given a thought to.. Their lips joined together for 2 seconds after which she was gone and he was blown away!! She for sure and conform became the person he was ready to spent rest of his life with.

...

She was seated on the Breakfast table with her head in her hands.. "Kuch asar nahi kar arahaaa!!!" She cried and yelled out...
"Will you please explain me hua kya tha??" He narrowed his eyes and asked.. With all expressions and talks since she wake up.. It was clear to him that she remembered nothing!

"I knew wo juice spiked tha... par main kya keh k mana karti?" She made a face telling him what happened last night... "So maine usko bus haath mein he rakha aur phir un gadhi ladkiyun ne dekha main nahi pii rahi so they forced me... Phir ek aur.. mujhe chakkar se ane lagay, tum dikhe nahi to main bhaag li gadi tak k atleast safe zone mein ja k girrun.." She made a face..

"To tumhe bilkul nahi yaad uske baad ka kuch??" He again asked...

"Kitni baar bataoon?? nahi naa.." She whined..

"You don't remember kissing Symen?" He was in a mood to tease her..
"Excuse me??" She glared at him...

"Excused.. You were kissing him!! i had to drag you out.." He tried to hide in smile..

"I was out of my conscious!! Not my mind!" She stated gritting her teeth.
"And what does that supposed to mean?" He arched his brows and continued to applu butter over toast..

"Main kitni bhi tunn ho jaoon!! I will never fall to someone i don't trust.. Kissing is out of question!! So.. Lame Act!!" She made a face..

"Par log to talli ho ke yehi sab karte haina!!" He didn't stop trying..

"Wo.. wo karte hain jo kahin na kahin unke andar hota hai!!" She rolled her eyes..

"To you don't like Symen?" He teased her..

"I hate him!" She gritted her teeth.. "And i am sure even in my darkest hour, i will only kiss a man i will fall in love with!" She don't know why but she just wants to make that clear to him.. "I trust myself with that.." She added..

His heart did something he can tell.. Nidhi had no idea what she did right now!! She made a confession that she holds same feelings for him as he does for her.. If he had any guilt at the back of his head.. It was gone by now! He was happy!!

"Aur tumhe pata hai yeh kitna bada problem hai?? Matlab zara sa alcohol and i am down!"

"Wese.. yahan rehte hue ye kaafi serious problem hai.." Armaan also gave it a thought..

"How do people even tolerate it?" Nidhi asked putting her head down on the table..

"Peete rehte hain! capacity barh jati hai!!" He said in a go and then stopped.. The silent seemed fishy to Nidhi and she moved her head to look up at him...

"No!!! I am not ready to damage my lungs!!" She clearly stated shooting daggers at him..

"Well, thoda thoda capacity barha sakta hai.." He spoke out reluctantly.. "But its your decision!" He was not at all forcing her for this stupid thing..

...

It was one of their last days in Atlanta.. It was just a file they needed to remove from a locked office and Nidhi was supposed to steal it whereas Armaan will make sure he keeps the owner away.. It was decided by the two that she will steal and then hide in the outer dark room from where Armaan will get her and then Bye Bye to this Nick and Seleen life.

After the small kiss that night, he can feel the feelings inside him for her growing stronger and stronger.. He was ready to open them infront of her.. He was ready to propose her.. He was ready to tell his friends and family that..'I Have Found Love!"

He bought a ring for her.. It was a beautiful ring!! He just cannot wait to see it on her finger.. He even knew the perfect place to ask her! In between the snow.. Just the way they met!

Happily he went to get her, only to find that... that he was late. Room was filled with some gas and she was on the edge to loose her life.. He rushed to hospital and doctors told him that she got lucky to survive just by few minutes..

...

"Tumse ajj k ajj to shaadi karne ko koi nahi keh raha haina? Lekin tum atleast socho to settle hone k baare mein.. Ajeeb he harkatein chal rahi hain tumhari!" It was NewYork and Annanya and Armaan were once again arguing over his marriage topic on skype..

"Bhae... mujhe nahi karni hai abhi!" He was hell hell irritated.. What can he do if his heart and eyes were just unable to fall on anyther girl other than Nidhi..

"Kyun nahi karni hai???" Annanya lashed out at him.. "Koi pasand hai to batao.. aurnahi hai to mujhe dhoondne do!" Annanya was so on it to get out an answer today..

"Mom hum baad men baat karenge!" He just wanted to end this conversation..

"Nahi.. Tum mujhe abhi batao gay! Nikki ek dum sahi thi tumhare liye... Uss waqt sunni he nahi chahiye thi tumhari baat... sagai kar dete, dimagh sahi rehte tumhare!" Annanya spoke out in anger..

"Ufff... Jab kuch ho bus nikki ka taana le ao beech mein.." Armaan shook his head.. "Acha app mujhe do teen din dein! Phir main soch k batata hun apko.." He took a deep breath, he just wanted out right now..

...

"Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho iss waqt?" He was on his undercover work from which he returned at about 3 in the night and found Nidhi sitting out on the bench in the open lawn of the appartments they live in with a cane on coke in her hands..

"I am celebrating!" She announced in a sarcastic way.. "Manish is now interested in me!" She rolled her eyes making him stop on his place...
"Kya?" He took a step and sat down beside her.. "Ussne kuch kaha tumse?" He asked..
"As if maine use itni himmat di thi!" She rolled her eyes.. "I stopped him before he will start!" She said making a face.. "Lekin mujhe acha nahi laga k urghhh.. iss tarah mere baare mein soch raha hai!! Plusss... Mujhe usske saath kisi bhi kism ki activity handle nahi karni hai and i am stuck with him..." She seems really very upset..

"Hhh..." He led out a deep and putting his legs up folded them together.. "Tumne kabhi socha hai tum kese insaan se shaadi karna chaho gii?" He started some how looking at front on the grass... She turned her face to look at him and he felt what she wanted to hear but didn't said herelf.. "I don't know.." She also turned her face straight..

"Mujhe nahi lagta main kabhi bhi kisi pe bharosa kar paoongi.. kisi k haath mein apni zindagii de paoongi!! Mujhe nahi lagta main kisi se jurr sakti hun." She kept it straight and clear..

silence..

"Kabhi kabhi therne ka mann karta haina?" He said after a while still looking at the grass..
"Tum bohat zyaada thuk gaye ho ajj!! Ajeeb ajeeb baatein kar rahe ho!" She passed him a weird look..
"Hahahaa!!" He laughed it off.. "Chalo shaadi na sahi.. admiration pe to koi pabandi nahi hai!" He chuckled.. "Kese hona chahiye tumhare hisaab se ek pati?" He came in some playful mood..

"Mere Jiju ki tarah.. bilkul nahi!" She made a face making him laugh... "Ummm.. Vikas is a very good example!!" She gave it a thought and said..
"Oye Hoye!! Vikas ne sunn liya to sharma jayega!" He teased her..

"Shut Up!! It takes guts to go against your family and support your wife! Har koi nahi kar sakta hai! Family humesha zyaada haawi hoti hai!" She was right on her point..
"Khair iss mein to koi shuk nahi hai.. He deserves salute for that!" Armaan agreed..

"Aur ek mere jiju ko dekh lo... You have no idea Arohi kitni pagal thi uss jewelry k peeche.. Ussne khud se mehnat ki, paise jama kiya aur phir pata nahi kahan kahan dhoonda and finally she got it what she wanted.." Nidhi started telling the story of her sister..

"Phir usski shaadi k baad ek din hasti hui uski nand ayi k bhabhi yeh mujhe bohat pasand hai mujhe de dein!!" She mimicked and said..

"Hain?? ussne diya kya?" Armaan found it stupid..

"Nahi.. she denied! Usspe jiju was like.. tum jewelry ko rishton pe ehmiyat de rahi ho!!! Apni behn ko nahi keh sakte thai yeh?" She made a face.. "Ab aise lallu panju se shaadi karne se to behtar hai k insaan na he kare... Oppar se meri behn! Pagal!! Aisa lagta hai jese uska khud ka koi opinion he nahi bacha hai!! saara waqt bus pati ki aur uske ghar walon ki jee huzuri karte raho!!"

"Tum to shoot kar do gii!!" He laughed..

"Obviously!!" She shook her head.. "I mean i agree kai jagah par ladki ek dum chalu cheez hoti hai!! But.. whatever!! Life mein wese he sukoon nahi hai! Aur haraam kar lun main!!" She snored..

"Haahhh.. meri maa ko bhi koi samjha de yeh!!" He sighed..
"Hehh.. wo to sochti hongi... kya naam tha uss ladki ka?? ermmm Nikita!!! Ussi k saath set kar dete tumhe!" She giggled..

"Oh Aunty!! Shukar manao Vikas ka contact nahi hai... warna humari fix hogayi hoti!" He finally finally started the real topic..
"Aur tum maan jaate?" She questioned him..

"Tum maan jaati?" He counter questioned..

"Ermmm... Lets see tumhara analysis karte hain!" Nidhi rubbed her hands together coming in some playful mood.. She and Armaan both were hell scared to make a serious conversation over this..

"Oho!! Chalo beta.. Lets see what you got!" He chuckled changing his position..

"So... Tummm ermmm... Tum dominating ho! Like main he sahi hoon!" She came up with one..
"Haan!! Aur tum to wo hona! jo app kahen sab sahi!" He taunted..

"Whatever!" She rolled her eyes.. "Tum sab se bade ho! Responsibility zyaada hai! Aur tumhe iss mein maza ata hai!" She smiled..
"Ummm.. haan!!" He agreed..
"So u do everything thing in your power to maintain that position!" She added..
"I do!" He nodded..

"Tum duniya jahan ka gussa sirf mujh par nikalna jaante ho!" She gritted her teeth..
"Tit for tat!" He clicked his fingers..

"Tummm... apni family k against kuch sunn nahi sakte!! Phir wo sahi he kyun na ho!" She added a point.. "Lekin haan! Tum bol sakte ho!" He chuckled..
"Pheww... Ab yeh to right hai mera!" He threw some dramatic attitude..

"Ahan!! Vikas jesi family mil jaati to kya karte Armaan??" She teased him..

"Oh please.. Vikas had a very good family! Usske mom dad! Very Cool!! Uski Nani and party!! Azaab!!" He made a face..

"Phir bhi.. soch lo ek minute k liye.. what would you have done?" She asked hypothetically..

"I would have killed you and asked u to go and sleep!!" He stretched his lips and narrowed his eyes at her..

"Very Funny!!" She rolled her eyes and got up to go.. She took a few steps towards the building and stopping turned around.. "Anddd..." She said out lout which made him turn his face and look at her... "You will always be ther for me no matter what!" She smiled winking at him and walked away..

She had no idea what she did.. His heart shrunk! She just made the decision for him.. Decision to let her go.. He knew he cannot survive without her.. She needed to stay in his life, the way she is and it was only possible if he put himself out from a position where on one end there is Nidhi and on other, Any other important person of his life..

He concluded, he can't have both.. So, it was better to keep her forever in life but not beside! She was good to be a crime partner instead of a life partner.. She was the strength that made him survive from the worst till now and he just cannot let her be his weakness.. Maybe some day she would question, but the fact is he Loved her and he will always love her, Always choose her!

She might not understand, but by Not involving her romantically in his life, he was actually choosing her!

"Aliya! Kya bachpana hai?" Rohail scolded her.. "Aur tumhare darr ki to mujhe wajah he nahi samajh arahi hai! halat dekho apni.. Thodi si aur mehnat karlo.. guaranteed oppar pohunch jaogi!" He gritted his teeth..

"Tum nahi jaante ho ussko! Usse jo chahiye hota hai.. wo paa k rehta hai! Ussko handle karte hue sab se pehli cheez yehi seekhi thi usske baare mein maine!" Aliya yelled out at Rohail..

"Huraaayyy!! Atleast tum cheekh rahi ho!" Vikas hooted.. They all were seated in the hall in the Mad House. "Warna to mu se awaaz he nahi nikal rahi thi!!" He told Rohail..

"Kya hurraayy?? App mile haina? Kya appko nahi pata kesa pagal insaan hai?" Aliya glared at Vikas..

"To tumhare beemaar rehne se, ghar pe bethne se.. wo tumhe utha k nahi le k jayega?" Vikas asked..

"Yeh kaam butler se nahi kar waega?" Rohail popped up with a question making Vikas laugh and Aliya more angry...
"Tum aye kyun ho yahan?? bhaar mein jao!" She stormed and climbed stairs to move to her room...

"Chalo.. Normal to hui atleast!" Vikas sighed..
"Clearly! warna mujhe to laga tha goonge hone ka plan hai isska!" Rohail said looking at her climbing stairs.. "
"Dude! Ajj main kahunga k issne kahan khaya hai dhung se.. Atleast tere ane ka kuch to faida hua hai.." Vikas commented.. "But it will take a lot." He warned..

"Pata nahi.. ajeeb! khud bhi pagal hui wi hai.. humay bhi pagal kiya hua hai!! Aur mujhe to wo darr ki kahani samajh nahi ayi bhae!" He gritted his teeth..

"Kahani baad mein samajhna.. filhaal isse shaadi karo, zabardasti karo, utha k le k jao, bhaga k le k jao! Jo karna hai karo.. But just get her back on track before that idiot barges again... Kyunki ussko dekh kar iski saari hawa nikal jati hai!!" Vikas made a made.. "Hum to ghar ki murgi daal barabar!! Humay tashan dikhana to roz ki baat hai.. Asal musibat to wo hai.." He added..

"Abay yaar.." Rohail closed his eyes falling back on the sofa.

...

"so.. mis ignoring me!" He came and sat down beside her..
"Ignoring you?" She made a face looked at him and then again at the TV..
"Haan!! Ignoring me.. Mere msg ka reply nahi.. Aurrr" He paused.. "Kuch bhi ho jaye.. tum humesha call uthati ho Nidhi!!" There was a hint of sadness and complain in his voice..

"Team mates 24/7 support k liye hote hain Armaan!!" She didn't turned her face from the screen.. "Team toot jaye.." She turned her face and looked at him.. "Sab ghar chale jaate hain! Wese bhi mera impression yahan kuch theek nahi hai! Aur kharab karne ka shawk nahi hai mujhe." She spoke out bitterly and once again got involved with her movie..

He kept looking at her but she didn't move.. "What the catch??" He turned the Tv off and kept the remote away from her.. "What the hell??" She yelled out at him.. "Tum movies se bore ho jate ho doesn't mean har koi ho jata hai!! Tum ja k so wese bhi raat mein tumhari flight hai aur plane mein tumhe neend nahi ati!" She scolded him..

"Stop!!!" He cutted her off.. "Naraz ho! gussa ho! Nikaaalo.." He yelled.. "But don't do this.." He frowned..
"What am i doing?" She snapped back...

silence..

"Please don't do this.." He spoke out sofly closing his eyes.. She was effecting him bad.
"Hmmm..." She took a deep breath, controlled her temper and then decided not to pretend like all is okay. "Fine.. Mere ek sawal ka jawab do." She said looking stright at him..

"Shilpa k peeche shuru se to deewane thai nahi tum.. Infact jahan tak mujhe yaad hai, bohat koshish ki thi tumne k usse peeche choot jaye.. tumhe resons nahi mil rahe thai!! Lekin sab se bada reason to tumhare pass khud tha naa?? Tum achi tarah se jaante thai wo kis ki poti hai!! To phir itna sab drama natak kyun Armaan??" She asked in a normal but strict tone..
"Agar usse pyaar ho he gaya tha to why pretend like she is nothing? Aurrr.. although tumhari life ki baat thi! tumhe koi zaroorat nahi thi mujhe batane ki.. Lekin mere jaane se sirf do ghante pehle kyun bataya mujhe? Do ghante baad kuch hone wala tha?" She questioned with a look now i am ready to hear all you have got..

"What?? No!!" He reacted the way he trained himself for this kind of question.. "I told you.. mujhe laga tha tum khud scan kar lo gi.. Tumne nahi kiya so maine bata diya!" He gave the answer he gave her when he told her aboutthis for the first time..

"And all that pretending?" She asked the first part of her questioned which he ignored..

"I wasn't pretending! i was confused.." He arched his brow.. "Bataya tha maine tumhe what Rajveer told me.. She was the key to get us away with it!!" He tried to sound casual..

"So, you got married for that purpose!! Interesting!" She led out a sarcastic laugh.. and got up from the sofa with her plate to put it in the kictchen..

"Ni..." He wasn't getting the point and so followed her..

"Ek akhri sawal ka jawab de do!" She turned around after putting her plate in the washing sink.. "Uss raat jab khud ko shoot karne wala stunt pull kiya tha tumne.. Wo isliye tha kyunki tum shilpa k pyaar mein pagal hue ay thai! aur wo log Shilpa ko drag karne wale thai iss sab mein to be the bait!!" She paused and looked into his eyes.. "Lekin.. tumhe to pata tha naa she is 'THE MONSTER'S" grand daughter and is safe!!" She emphasised on the word Monster.. "To phir wo sab kya tha? kis k liye tha??" She asked wrapping her arms around her chest..

"Hmmm..." He taak a deep breath closing his eye and then opened them again.. "I told u before.. it was a risk i took to distract them!! Aur yeh sab purani baatein hum kyun discuss kar rahe hain when its all over.." He gritted his teeth..

"Hehh!! Yeah! its all over.." She rolled her eyes.. "Aurr.. nice try playing Dumb!! Tum dumb nahi ho Armaan!!" She smiled and looked in his eyes.. She wasn't getting why the hell was he giving her answers he knew she won't believe or maybe he actually thinks she is dumb.

"Tum.." He tried to say something when she stopped his by showing her finger.. "Just one last.." She whispered this time... Emotions were again hitting her and her nose started turning pink.. "I was drunk, you were not! Why did you kissed me?" She asked almost like a whispered shutting him up for the while... He became a statue who can only move his eyes and kept looking at her without blinking.. She remembered!!

"Tum.. chance to maar nahi rahe thai! Aur faida tum kisi ladki ka uthate nahi! You like your character to be strong!!" Her eyes got moist.. "To phir kyun?" She questioned and he kept looking..

silence..

"huhhh" She led out a sad smile.. "Jawab nahi hai.." She said and walked ahead showing him her back.. There was no way she would cry infront of him.. If someone she could get weak infront of from now one.. Would be either silence or SID, NOT ARMAAN MALLIK!

Hawaaon mein lipta hua main
Guzar jaaunga tumko chhu ke

"I fell in love with you!!" She stopped right on her tracks at the door of the kitchen... "I Loved you then! I Love You Now.. I will always, always Love You!" A single tear escaped down from his eyes as he made the confession of his life to her..

She closed her eyes letting the tears flow.. 10 Years!! Almost ten years she waited to hear this from his mouth! And now when she was hearing it.. There was nothing remaining to do..

Agar mann ho to rok lena
Thehar jaaunga in labon pe

She atlast made him confess, She finally brought her to the edge just by making him realize that if he will leave today without saying anything, she will be gone from his life! He didn't suffered much to let her go.. He needed her in his life somehow.

He pulled out a chair kept around the small dinning for two table in the kitchen and sat down.. "Hhhmm" He covered his mouth with the back of his fingers before processing.. "Mujhe laga tha.. zindagii mein agar sab se zyaada selfish kuch kiya naa maine.. To wo yehi hoga! Tumse ye keh dena k tum sirf dost kabhi nahi thi.. Humesha usse zyaada he thi!!" He spoke out softly..

She turned around to watch him say it.. Her heart wants to hear it all doesn't matter if she belongs to someone else now. Doesn't matter if few hours before she decided to not let him effect her anymore, she hated him!

Hawaaon mein lipta hua main
Guzar jaaunga tumko chhu ke

"Actually.. Mujhe kabhi mere khud k pyaar ki definition samajh he nahi ayi" He wasn't looking at her.. He just cannot look at her and say.. "Log pyaar karte hain! usse paane k liye larte hain! Usse dard nahi pohchana chahte! chot nahi dena chahte!! Usske saath rehna chahte hain!" One more tear escaped from his eye..

silence..

"Lekin maine aisa kuch nahi kiya hai!!" He bit his lower lip looking down at the table.. "Maine apni poori zindagii mein agar kisi ko sab se zyaada hurt kiya hai! sab se zyaada rulaya hai.. to wo tum ho!" He turned his face to took at her with mositness in his eyes..

"Tumhe paane ki kosish karne k bajaye.. maine wo har koshish ki jisse k tum mere saath na ho kar bhi meri zindagii mein raho!! Mere aass pass.. Humesha!" More tears came in her eyes as he said that..

Agar mann ho to rok lena
Thehar jaaunga in labon pe

She sat down against the door of the kitchen.. He was draining her out, she started feeling tired!

"Tu ne bana diya yaar mujhe!!" He said looking outside the window.. "Jallad he ban k nikalta wahan se.. zindagii sawar di meri!" He pressed his lips together.. His eyes were dry by now..

"Tumhe paane ki koshish ki thi.. Hehhh fail hogaya uss mein!" He made fun of his ownself.. "Ring khareedne mein itna time laga diya.. k oppar pohunchne ki he tayaari kar li! He caught her attention on this..

"Ahista Ahista ehsaas hota gaya k..." He sighed.. "I don't function without you!!" He bit his lower lip looking lost.. "Main khud kitna bhi ghalat kar lun tumhare saath.. kisi aur ko wo haq nahi hai!!" She saw some agressive fire burning in his eyes.. "Its like.. inbuilt in me!! I will always choose you!!" He came out of his lost zone and looked at her..

Main dikhu ya na dikhu
Tum mujhko mehsoos karna

"Tumhe apne saath rakhta naa main Nidhi!! Definitely ek din kho deta.." Determination was there in his tone.. "Aur tumhe khone ka option nahi hai mere pass.. Tum mu pher chali gayi naa.. to main khud ko bhi barbaad kar dunga aur ane aass paas walon ko bhi!!" He gritted his teeth and her heart raced seeing this side of agressive Love of his for her..

Her eyes got moist again.. He doesn't need to elaborate each and everything... He knew she will understand.. This confrontation was already like a blow for them.. They had no idea if they will be able to walk away with it or not.

silence..

She slowly got up and walked up to him.. "Ek baar keh kar to dekhte.. tumne kabhi kuch nahi kaha!" She cried..
"Tumhe bhi to sab yaad tha! tumne kyun kuch nahi kaha?" He asked in a husky voice.. his voice was down by now.. He was pointing towards the kiss which she pretended she never remembered.. "Tum mujhe nahi khona chahti thi aur main tumhe.."

"Tum mere liye kya ho main tumhe kabhi nahi samjha sakta!!" He held her hands in his.. "Tumse agay meri nazrein kabhi ja he nahi pati thi.. Shilpa wo pehli ladki thi jisse sirf dekhne ki bhi main himmat kar saka.." He started pouring his heart about that..

"Usske ansoon mujhpe asar karne lagay... Wo buss thi!! Usski ehmiyaat tab barh gayi jab tum agay barh gayi.." He said looking in her eyes..

"Nahi... Tum mujhe iss baat ka ilzaam nai de sakte!!" Nidhi stepped back shaking her head in a no lightly.. "Tumne mujhse kabhi kuch nahi kaha.. Tumne Shilpa ko jis bhi wajah se lekin apne liye chuna!! Sab tumne kiya!!" She pointed a finger at him..

"Tumne mujhe aisi khaai mein phenk diye hai jahan main khud se nazren nahi mila pa rahi.. Main Sid k kareeb gayi.. kyunki tumne mujhe hurt kiya!! Maine usse khud ko saumpa kyun mujhe tumpe gussa tha!!" She cried yelling out at him..

"I feel like a characterless person Armaan!!" She cried loud.. "Sid ko jis din sachai pata chali wo kabhi maaf nahi karega mujhe isske liye.. Tumne pehle mujhse mere pyaar cheena aur phir mujhse mera dost cheen liya!! Ye bhi nahi socha k wo ek he tha meri zindagii mein.." She her voice cracked.. She looked broken now.

"Ab wo nahi hai aur main wapas wohin ja rahi hun jahan se main chali thi!!! Lekin sab mujhse wo Nidhi expect karte hain.. jisse unhun ne Armaan Mallik k saath dekha hai!! WO NAHI JAANTE K USS NIDHI KO BANANE WALA.. USSE TORR K BIGAAR K CHALA GAYA HAIII!!!" She grabbed his collar..

"Tum aur kitna barbaad karoge mujhe Armaan??" She cried and fell down on the floor holding him only.. "Sirf Sid kaafi nahi tha jo ab tum mujhe Shilpa ka bhi mujrim banana chahte ho?? Wo kya sochegi usse pata chala to??" She cried more..

Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna

"Batao tum mujhe.. Kyun nahi batai mujhe Shilpa ki sachai pehle?" She once again got up after gathering some courage.. "Main kya keh deti tumse?? Pyaar karne lagay thai naa usse.. to kya mujhpe pe bharosa uth gaya tha? Kya kar leyti main?" She asked in anger..

"Tum kuch nahi karti!! Tum kuch nahi kehti.." He held her by her shoulders.. "Lekin tumhari ankehin!! Wo kuch keh deti.. To bohat mushkil mein ajata!! Usse main chorna nahi chahta tha aur tumhe main kho nahi sakta!" He looked helly messed up..

"Keh to main ab bhi sakti hoon na!!" She shot a hurtful look to him..

"Nahi.. Tum nahi kahogi!!" His eyes portrayed confidence in her.. "Tum bhi wo ek he ho.. jiska sab bigar kar bhi main usse maafi ki umeed kar sakta hoon!" He might sound like a jerk, but this is how he was with her..

Love did this to them..Screwed them up, made them insane, and then left the scattered pieces of their broken hearts to themselves to pick them up and join again.

Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna

He couldn't stand there anymore and watch her look at him like that.. He took his step to walk out but then stopped at the door and said.. "Maine Shilpa ko bataya k meri life mein koi tha jiski taraf maine kadam nahi barhaya!! Kaun tha yeh mere dill ki baat hai.. Isse main kabhi kisi ko nahi bataoonga!! Wo zindagii jo maine aur tumne saath jee wo sirf tumhari aur meri hai!! Usse jaane ka haq kisi ko nahi hai.. Shayad yeh dhoka ho! Lekin main isske baare mein janne ka haq kisi ko nahi deta.. Shilpa ko bhi nahi!!" He spoke out slowly...

"Wese bhi.. farishta nahi hun! Insaan hun!! Aur insaan sab ko sab sach nahi batate.." He gave her a life lesson and left..

Shilpa woke up only to find Armaan back and sleeping beside her.. Only if she knew what happened at her back and how drained out and tired he was.. Years of heavy weight had lifted up from his chest.. He still have the belief that she will forgive him! Not because he derserve it.. Because like him she too cannot like without him.

She checked her arms and feet, very little red points were there but the swelling was gone.. It was not even itching her, she feels fine! She looked at the clock which strike 6 making her heart sink.. "What?? main itni deir soti rahi??" She immediately got up from the bed.. It doesn't look good to sleep like this at someone else's house..

...

Sid came back atlast and looked around at the empty house with closed lights.. "Gusse mein bahar to nahi nikal diya issne sab ko?" He wondered and climbed stairs only to get to his room where his wife was found sleeping on the bed at this hour..

"Nidhi!!" He walked forward concerned if she fell ill or something... He sat down over her head removing the pillow and touched her head.. It was nothing! "Nidhi!!" He ruffled her hairs in order to try and wake her up.. "Hmmm.." She moved her head a bit in sleep.. Her head spinned so much after Armaan left her alone.. Slowly her nerves started to burn and it felt like her brain would burst out with pain and so she had to close her eyes and give some rest to herself..

"Kya hua? iss time so rahi ho tum?" He asked softly..
"Sar mein dard ho raha tha!!" She snuggled a little closer as he bent down a bit at her..

"Sar mein dard ho raha tha?? dawa li?" He asked..
"Hmmm.." She nodded her head with close eyes.. "Abhi theek hoon!" She added in her sleepy voice..

"Ahm..." He nodded smiling at her.. "Dekho main tumhare liye kya laya hoon!" He picked up white roses from the side and touched her face with one.. "Huhh.." Making a face she opened her eyes to see and a geniun smile came on her face..

"Sorry yaar!! Mera to sote hue bhi mind wahan ja k cross nahi kiya jahan se tumne phadda utha liya!" He apologized..
"Phada nahi hai.. warning hai!" She smiled at him.. How easy and sweet he is! And how complicated Armaan is.

She was feeling extermely light and free after waking up.. especially with those roses her husband brought for her..

"Hehhh.. Kya hogaya yaar??" He said hugging her by lying down beside her..

...

Sid and Nidhi decided to take Armaan Shilpa out for dinner after which they will drop them to AirPort and come back home.. Armaan and Nidhi both were not sure how it would be facing eachother now and haven't even passed by eachother..

Armaan was still sleeping and Sid also taking some reast whereas Nidhi decided to prepare some coffee for all and maybe a quick snack in which Shilpa offered some help..

"Na na na na.. hmmm mmm mm" Nidhi hummed a song while whisking the cofee which made Shilpa smile.. "Tumhe animated movies pasand hain?" She asked..
"Ohh I love them.." Nidhi smiled.. "Pehle tym nahi milta tha dekhne ka.. Phirrr Aliya se paala para!!" She giggled.. "She is am amaizing girl!" Nidhi commented..

"Hahaha!! Sure she is.. Hum subha subha unke ghar gaye thai naa?? i was like.. wow!! kiwi, star fruit!!" Shilpa can still feel the taste in her mouth..

"Don't worry.. Shaadi ho jane do! Mumbai mein bhi ek se barh k ek karnama dikhega!!" Nidhi shook her head smiling..
"Hahaha!!" Shilpa laughed..

"So.. Usske saath maine dobara dekhna shuru kiya and i was like.. OMG! I still love them!" Nidhi chuckled..

"Are you sure itna enough hoga?" Shilpa asked nidhi pointed at the small pizza she was shredding cheese on..
"Haan.. poora dinner thodi karwana hai!" Nidhi nodded in a yes..

...

"Kya??" Armaan was woken up when Rohail called him telling him that they just witnessed it on a channal that Prince Henry would be announcing his wedding soon!!

"Kya kya? Yeh kya bakwaas hai? wo aadmi hai k gadha?" Rohail yelled out..

"Ussko gadha kehna gadhe ki toheen hai!!" Armaan corrected..

"Bhai!! Mujhe nahi pata bahe.. sar mein dard ho raha hia ab mere!!" Rohail made a face..

"Aliya ka kya haal hai?" He inquired while making his hairs..
"Abhi theek hai.. agay ka pata nahi!! Aur usko choro.. mujhe ab apna kuch nahi pata hai!!" Rohail gritted his teeth..

"Abay yaar!!" Armaan made a face and sat down on the bed..

"Aur haan.. Aliya ne bawal macha dena hai agar tum bhabhi ko yahan le kar aye to usse sab pata chala.." Rohail had that too in his mind...

"Itni akal to mujh mein bhi hai k main Shilpa ko wahan nahi la sakta.." Armaan told Rohail..
"To phir?" Confused, Rohail asked..

"To yeh k mujhe kaam hain idhar udhar.. Dubai and else so.. do hafte to kahin nahi gaye" Armaan gave Rohail details..

"Great! Now lets see how we handle this.." He sighed..

"Vikas kya kahe raha hai?" Armaan asked.

"Wo keh raha hai, shaadi karlo ya isse le k bhaag jao! Akal thikaane lagao aur phir jab ready ho jaye to wapas le ana!" Rohail made a face..

"To ghalat kya kahe raha hai? Aliya ko uthao aur le k jao.. wese bhi ghar pe beth k ussne tumhe bhi depress kar dena hai!" Armaan snorned and after a while hung up.

...

"Arre tujhe pata hai? Tera wo deepika padukone k saath jo squirrel encounter hua tha wo youtube pe agaya hai!!" Sid cracked making Armaan grumpy..
"Bus yehi kasar baaki reh gayi thi!!" Armaan got up from his place gritting his teeth..
"Hahahaha!! Tumhare liye kaunsa bada kaam hai? Delete kar do ge tum to hack kar k." Sid winked at him..
"Haan!! Pehla kaam yehi karunga!" He pointed a finger as he walked towards the kitchen to have some water..
"Mujhe dekhna hai!" Shilpa got out of the kitchen after hearing the whole thing..
"Tumhe kya dekhna hai bhae? Koi joker laga hun main jo sab ko dekhna hai?" He arched his brows at Shilpa..
"Khair joker se kum bhi nahi lag rahe thai!" Sid chuckled.. "Tum ao.. tumhe dikhata hun main!" Sid unlocked his mobile screen and asked Shilpa to join in and see..
"Urghhh.." Groaning, Armaan walked inside the kitchen..

Main rahun ya na rahun
Tum mujh mein kahin baaki rehna

Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Bas itna hai tumse kehna

"Coffee.." Nidhi forwarded the mug towards him.. It was a different coffee better known as their special style coffee.. A smiled graced his lips and so as hers.. "Mujhe laga tha awkward hoga!" He spoke out..
"I guess hum dheet hain!" She completed the sentence.. Strange, even after the confrontation it wasn't awkward between them.. It was like nothing even happened at all.. He moved a step ahead and hugged her tight.. She reciprocated the same way.
"Tumhe lagta hai main Sid ko kuch kahe bagair usske saath zyaadti nahi karungi?" She asked.. she wanted an honest answer..
"Ni!! Tumne atlease usse shaadi se pehle sab bata diya.. Main to iss baare mein soch bhi nahi sakta!" He pressed his lips together.. "Life mein sukoon chahiye to bhool jao! Aur wese bhi.. i am sure wo ek pal ki he ghalti ho gi!! Kyunki pyaar to tum definitely bohat karti ho usse!!!" He smiled lightly.. "Aur bharosa bhi.." He added..
"Aur Shilpa?" She asked about his life..
"Na insaafi karne ka theka sirf tumhare liye le k rakha hai!!" He pressed his lips together making her smile.. "Uss anghooti ka kya kiya?" She almost whispered..
"Baha diya.." He told her truthfully..
"You flushed it out??" She passed him a disgusting look making him laugh..
"Pagal!" He hit her head lightly.. "Wohin jahan beth k khud ko thund lagwana chahti ho!" He made fun of her and told her the place.. The ladder river in coorg where she sits on rocks and enjoyes the night and early mornings..
"Aur mera tracker?" She asked..
"Wese mera phone nahi uthaya tha tumne.. problem mein hota to?" He arched his brows..
"Kya tumhe pata hai tumhara tracker kahan hai" She chuckled.. He watched her and she watches him..
"Ohhh.. that way!!" He aplauded her trick.. and gave her something taking out frm his jacket pocket.. "Tumhari marzi.. jahan chahe lagao!" He gave her the tracker witha free will.
...
After a while the four were seated together in the living room, laughing and chatting. It got decided that they will leave after a while for the dinner outside which will be Sid's treat ofcorse and then SidNidhi will drop ArmaanShilpa to the AirPort.
"App Rohail se nahi milenge?" Shilpa asked Armaan out of the blue..
"Rohail se?" Sid got a bit confused..
"Haan wo.. ek meeting k liye yahan aya tha.. study work tha kaafi to ussne socha hotel room mein he bund ho k parhai ki jaye!!" Armaan tried to make it look very casual.
"Oho! Itni kya parhai? Dinner to ho sakta hai!! Aur idiot! Phone kar leyta hai insaan!" Sid made a face..
"Ab to meeting khatam hogayi!" Armaan stopped Sid from calling.. "Infact he left for London! Ek training ayi hui thi.. last seat thi so he had to make it quick." Armaan told what he and Rahul decided to tell everyone.
"Phir bhi.. Class lunga main baad mein.." Sid was not willing to let it go.
The topic soon got changed and they kept talking with TV on when during flip of channals, discovery channal came on board where some documentary was coming over a Prince of some small country in America. "Wow!!" Nidhi commented as she saw the tiara on display. They were telling that its like a tradition in the family that before engagement, the generation to generation transfered tiara is gifted to the girl to let her know that she is choosen. However that was not the queen tiara but a step lower than that.
"Armaan!! Uss ladki ka kya hua phir?" Shilpa asked making his heart sink.. "Ye marwa k choregi mujhe.." He gritted his teeth inside..
"Kaunsi ladki?" Nidhi asked..
"Wohi jo tum logon k office mein hai.. jisse responsibility di thi to receive and handle the prince.." Shilpa was talking to only Nidhi now..
"Hain?" Nidhi had no idea what Shilpa was talking about..
"Wo.. Mauritius k panga hai.. Tum log Australia ghoom rahe ho." Armaan tried to explain. He was cursing Shilpa inside for bringing the topic here.
"Acha.. to phir?" Nidhi asked Shilpa only..
"So she is engaged and the prince fell for her.. Ab wo usse shaadi karna chahta hai!" Shilpa said before sipping the last bit of her coffee leaving Sid and Nidhi with an open mouth.. They knew Aliya would be handling a Prince.. She only told them earlier when they talked last time.. The Prince was about to land next day what they heard last.
"No..." Sid looked at Armaan and shook his head while whispering a no..
"Ahmmm.. ahan!!" Armaan nodded yed head in a yes and then slipped down on the covermore covering his face with a cushion..

...

"Mujhe chakkar arahe hain!" Sid freaked out when Armaan told him the whole thing and warned to stay tight as this is sensitive.. "To Rohail jhoot bol k wahan gaya hai?" Sid asked with horror on his face..
"Yup!! WARNA JESA CHAL RAHA THA... Humay Aliya k oppar pohunchne ki khabar jaldi milti." Armaan explained him every aspect..
"To Shilpa ko nahi pata hai yeh? Aur aise mein tum usse wahan le k jaoge?" Sid didn't got it..
"Pagal samjha hai kya mujhe?? Equation hai nahi koi donow ki, agay ja k saath rehna hai! Yeh jhamela kyun paalun main?" Armaan made a face..
"To phir?" Sid asked..
"Filhaal Dubai, Phir idhar udhar.. Aur jab wahan sab sort out ho jayega.. then i'll take her there!" Armaan disclosed his plan.
"Ohh.. cool!!" Sid was still trying to overcome with this weird shocking thing he heard..

Later, the dinner turned out even better.. They were laughing, pulling eachothers leg. Shilpa was a new entrant but Nidhi made sure she doesn't feel that way.. She was finally back on track with both the men in her life and was genuinely happy the way ArmaanShilpa were coming out..

mehfil mein teri, Hum naa rahe jo
Gham toh nahi hai, Gham toh nahi hai.

The four of them were standing at the AirPort, it was time for Armaan and Shilpa to leave.. They have checked the flight which was exactly on time.. "Chalo bhae.. hum bhi yeh hafta chutti mana lein, phir back to pavilian.." Sid made smiled patting Armaan's shoulder..
"Don't worry! I'll make sure tumhara boss tumhe achi tarah se busy rakhe!" He chuckled..
"Huh!! Khud ki to life barbaad hai usski.. Doosron ki kahan chorega?" Sid made a face making the other three laugh..
"Take Care.." Armaan gave a side hug to Nidhi after hugging Sid.. "I will!!" She said looking in his eyes.. A light moistnous was there in both of their eyes. The evening was not forgotten completely..

Qisse humaare nazdeeqiyon ke
Kam toh nahi hai, Kam toh nahi hai.

They all bid bye and leaving Sid Nidhi on spot, ArmaanShilpa started walking off.. She saw him leaving, he turned his face around in the midway just to pass an assuring smile to her..
"Yeh to gaye!" Sid said slipping his hand around his wife.. "Ab tumhara kya iraada hai?" He asked..
"Main soch rahi hoon.. Main yahan kisi ka gala daba dene wali thi.." Nidhi smiled at him..
"Lekin ussne tumhe pata liya!! Taaliyaan!!" He chuckled pulling her closer to him..
"Aur ab bechara pachta raha hai!! Complicated biwi mil gayi jo ajj kal bohat pareshaan kar rahi hai!" She said in a teasy way while locking her hands around his neck..
"Don't worry!! Mera patience level bohat high hai!! Aur maine socha hai k usse thoda waqt diya jaye.. Achi tarah se samajhne ki koshish ki jaye!" He bit his lower lip with a smile..
"Ahan!! Aurr abhi tak kya samjha tumne?" She questioned arching her brow.. They were flirting and acting freely because it was late and due to winter and less flights, AirPort seems quite empty and quiet..
"Ermmm..." He gave it a thought..
"Hehehe!! Naraz hun main tumse!!" She pouted.. "Honeymoon pe nahi le k ja rahe naa tum mujhe.." She complaint putting fake upsetting expressions on her face..
"Ohhh.." He looked up in the air.. "Ja rahe haina hum agle hafte.." He said smiling at her.. He was loving her right now..
"Australia!" She made a face.. "Jese hum to wahan rehte he nahi!"
"Ab main kya kar sakta hoon agar adhi duniya tumne pehle se he ghoomi hui hai to?" He raised his shoulders in the air..
"Maine iceland nahi ghooma!" She told his excitedly..
"Haan!! Maar do tum mujhe.." He passed a horrified look to her making her giggled and hug him..
"Mujhe naa aise pagal he mila karo tum... Aur jab apne wo sarial mode mein jana ho naa!! To warn kar diya karo.." He said wrapping his hands around her..
"Tumne shaadi ki hai har mode jhelo gay tum! saza hai tumhari!" She punched on his chest lightly..
"Saza??" He parted her to look at her face with narrow eyes.. "Qubool hai!" He smiled making her smile too..

Kitni dafaa, subah ko meri
Tere aangan me baithe, Maine shaam kiya

After being done with booking the luggage, he grabbed her hand while replying with a gentle smile to the receptionist's "Have a nice flight sir!" and pulled her along with himself with an authority, an ownership. The hold of his hand on her's was a claim that she is his.
"Dubai?" She looked at him with an open mouth..
"Tumhe pagal khane jaane ki itni jaldi kyun hai? Ghoomte ghomate chalenge!" He winked at her..
"Hehh.. Kahan kahan ghomane ka iraada hai?" She asked in the same playful tone..
"Fikar not! Main life ghoma dunga!" He chuckled and moved ahead keeping her infront of himself keeping a soothing hand on her waist providing her with a sense of security. She was happy with him and trust him enough to blindly follow him around.. She knew he won't let her fall.
As they passed by the spot of glass windows, his eyes automatically went to the place he left Sid and Nidhi on.. Her hands her locked around his neck whereas his over her waist.. He was saying something and she was laughing.. That freshness, thet life was back on her face..
He held his one life close in his arms and let the other one to be someone else's.

Channa mereya mereya
Channa mereya mereya

People who claim know Armaan Mallik concludes the man is unromantic and will only learn what love is like after getting married to a lovely girl who will drag him all the way and teach him what love is and how it is..
But non knew, he has lived every aspect of this complicated thing called as Love.. So, What does Love stands for Armaan Mallik?
A curse which turned him shady or a blessing made him what he is.. Love is what made him loose control and claim Shilpa or Love is what made him a control Freak and held back from confessing his feelings to Nidhi? Is Love what made him stop from looking anywhere else but Nidhi or Is it what gave him a fresh start by looking at Shilpa? Is love letting Nidhi go but not leave.. Or was it hurting Nidhi all the time in process to always see her happy?
Was Love giving Nidhi a life or attempting to die for her? Or was it to maintain silence and never confess to her? Is Love that he wanted Shilpa in his life and desired for her.. Was Love making her cry, frighten? or provide her with the security and comfort that she needed ?
Is Love never to tell her that she is special or is it to put her before anything else..
May be for him it was right and wrong at the same time.. It is to never forget but always try to forget.. Maybe to accept eachother with all flaws, try and change eachother for good wanting at the same time not to change forever..
Was Love choosing Nidhi by not choosing her? Or giving Shilpa a right over him as her belonging? Is Love leaving her hand and let her fall? or catching her before she falls?? Maybe it is also try and convince her for something he was not and getting convinced over something she is convinced of..
Love surely is the power to let her control him and he control her.. Trusting eachother, giving eachother the power to destroy eachother.. Is Love what he feels when he see his wife the first thing in the morning next to him or is it to see Nidhi happy in Sid's arms?
He tells himself sometimes, Love is a mess he is in, it will tear him apart, it will make him struggle but it will also provide him peace, will sooth him!! And sometimes when out of blue his heart asks his brain.. "What is Love?"
It replies.. "Complicated Hai Love!"

Channa mereya mereya Beliya..

THE END

"Happy Belated Birthday Farwa!!😳

Read the part 2 times..

It was really very nice..

The whole armaan nidhi confession was very very deep and emotional..

But then somewhere I feel they both are cheating with their partners.

Like at least nidhi has that feelin that she is not doing right with Sid,

But I can't understand armaan.

Like if u say I will chose u over everyone.

I wonder if his wife would know about this what would she feel.

Though shilpa has not given any reasons till now to love her so much..

But still a wife would always want to be a priority for husband.

And from day one I was was not a fan of this armaan nidhi angle.

I hope this was a closure for them.

And we get to see more of arsh soon.

I hope u update quickly.
